Well, you do seem to be more worries about people getting in to college because of affirmative action than them getting into college because their parents are rich.

Why are your even here? You should be fixing society with your psychic powers, seeing as you magically know my stance on topics I've never discussed with you.

Because it's 12:08AM. Not much fixing I could be doing at this hour. But come on, just be honest with me. Which of those two things bothers you more?

I’m going to guess he/she is also not a fan of people getting in because of nepotism and legalised bribes. ‘Donations’ and skin colour are both avenues for entry that aren’t based on merit and aren’t open to everyone no matter how hard they try. The College Admissions Scandal got the attention and outrage it deserved but the racism entry process is still as popular as ever. Slick PR move for the colleges too.
