"According to the complaint, nearly 70% of legacy and donor-related applicants to the school identify as white. The effects of preference, LCR director Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal suggests, are deeply inequitable.

“Why are we rewarding children for privileges and advantages accrued by prior generations?” Espinoza-Madrigal asked BBC News. “Your family’s last name and the size of your bank account are not a measure of merit, and should have no bearing on the process.”"

Let's see what the pos rule on these cases. I'm sure they'll find some argument to defend . All groups need to do the same. Break the system!
