Weird that they don’t mention that the vast majority of legacy entries are white, followed by Asian.
Any school that had racist policies that banned black and other PoC that still has legacy admissions is fundamentally biased in favor of white applicants, and will always be.
The bar for legacy entry is incredibly low, far below GPA requirements for any affirmative action has ever been.
- Wolfenstein98k 6y agoIsn't that obviously going to wean itself out of existence in a generation or two, if whites are (as alleged) being discriminated against so heavily?
- olliej 6y agoIt will take more than a couple of generations, because the children of people who got legacy admittance also get legacy admittance, which removes available slots for people who don't just have the benefit of being born to the right parents. That's the big cudgel right: look at the racial spread of legacy acceptances, and if that does not match (within reason) the average racial spread then legacy admittance is adding a discriminatory pressure against those races that are less represented.
