The institutional construct supports white and affluent families, yet others are suing over affirmative action as being the reason why their kids don't get into college, not that the system is rigged and many more of the slots are taken by the elite or legacy kids.

And, yes, in most cases the wealthy kids know they are getting into school because of family, wealth, or prominence over their grades, yet they see poorer kids getting a financial or acceptance slot as, what one person cites being known as an "affirmative action baby."

This scandal is merely the tip of the white privilege iceberg. I saw it clearly growing up. At almost every step of the way, white males were guided/helped/pushed/favored towards every benefit/advantage that one can imagine. It is your parents making sure that you are prepared for the SATs. It is your teachers reminding you to sign up. It was the school in your neighborhood that had a robust PTA committee. You name it and white males had it handed to them, especially upper middle class white males. Every "little" thing. Look at all the programs, from Head Start to school lunch programs and affirmative action admittance policies. They are all there to "make up" for the fact that there is a segment of the population that needs these things because they aren't "automatic". It is only worsened by the reality that even with all of these programs, a certain segment of our society will attempt to make sure that their kids STILL will have a leg up.

Limburge Cheese thinks about this? What a strange turn of events we have here. Right Rush?! 😳🥴
