    Hey no one look at the corruption of the legacy admissions. Everyone get distracted with the shiny object.

    Fuck Harvard

    Taxpayer funded playground for rich kids to “network” encouraging a good ole boys system

      I cannot fathom that universities no longer can consider color/race/ethnic - but they can totally let rich alumni’s kids in no prob.

      fuck all legacy bullshit.

        I am sure they will find a way to still discriminate against Asians. It is kinda cool that Harvard considers you Asian if you have partial Asian ancestry. 21st century one drop rule.

        I guarantee you that this is next on the chopping block, but it won’t be caused by conservatives.

            A place like Harvard is ultra conservative. Remember that Harvard donors are trying to out activists so that they can be blacklisted for life. Because you can’t support Palestine and study at Harvard.

      Partially true. I know a non-legacy, non-rich, Asian person that went there. Of course, he was incredibly smart and involved in many extra-circular activities in high school.
