[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were participating in science fairs, the winners' projects were often highly correlated with their parents' professions.[/quote] Parents will confer some advantages to their kids. That's a given. Doesn't mean there's something bad or unethical about it. Your mom was a volleyball player and your dad made it to the NBA? No surprise if the kid ends up excelling at basketball. It kind of goes without saying. But for some reason we can appreciate the kid playing basketball, but not the kid who won a science competition? Additionally, would we be digging into Leanne's parental background if she was black? Wouldn't we just be happy that she won?[/quote]
