What kind of logic is this? So having wealthy and well-connected parents gives you a huge edge on career success, and you are saying admission should take that into account and favor that heavily?

Surely black americans are hurt, and it's only fair to lift them up, but at what cost? In these cases the asian americans are getting hurt because of it. Why not help lift asian americans up as well? They are also discriminated over a century after all, and now they are paying the price for reparations? Why is that not a discrimination itself?

Stop treating all minorities like they are in a single category. The ones that are hurt most in the cases are asian americans. They do not have advantage in "legacy" admissions over other minorities, and they are also discriminated over a century. Why are they paying the price for reparations?
