If that’s your take, great. I agree. I don’t believe that’s why legacy admissions are being brought up now, though. I think people are trying to make the case that legacy admissions are another form of affirmative action that largely benefits white americans. They’d be wrong, of course. Legacy admissions are classist, not racist. Being white inferred no advantage under their legacy admissions policy — in fact, the opposite, because combined with race-based affirmative action, it left even fewer slots available for non-legacy white applicants.
