I think I compete agree with this.
> Harvard has had discriminatory admissions criteria in the past. Many axes of discrimination are inherited. Ergo preferring children of Harvard alumni causes that same discrimination, but with a new name ("legacy admission").
But are you saying legacy admission are unfair or illegal? “Discriminatory” admissions practices are not necessarily illegal (by gender) nor even bad (by grades).
