good, legacy admissions are triangulation technique, so they can pretend the quota system doesn't discriminate against white people. "look at all those white legacy admissions getting an unfair leg-up". yeah great, a few rich white people from the right families get some set-asides. they're practically a caste. 99.9% of white people do not have a chance of getting in this way. it does not help a white kid with high test scores from a working class family with no elite connections. so the overwhelming majority of whites are competing for an even tinier sliver of places than it might appear, after the AA/legacy/athlete quotas are subtracted. if you got rid of legacy admissions the white student population at top schools might shrink a little (or probably grow after AA is also abolished), but would become far more representative of the country as a whole. it would actually become more "diverse", which I am told is a good thing. there would be more square-headed midwesterners and appalachian scotch-irish, and fewer degenerate WASP scions.
