Who am I kidding, that’s this nation’s favorite past time!
Other minorities rejoice…you’re finally at the white kids’ table, for the next 6 months or whatever.

No one ever complains about legacy admissions because that's why people want to go to Harvard.
The not well-connected white people blame minorities because that is who they compete with for spots. They want to one day be in the class (pun I guess) of people who get to have legacy admission kids.
see legacy admissions is an amateur hour way of preserving aristocratic status in an education institution. If they want this to last they should do what Oxford and Cambridge do and have them interview people before admission and that way they can screen out almost all the non aristocrats without explicitly doing that
After all why inscribe into a system ways of checking what you can tell from an accent
Some schools get many applicants from all over the world
yeah but you can still tell who's an aristocrat and who isn't. From e.g. talking to them about their life experiences. Plus studying abroad is expensive so that is going to weed out a lot of people
