Legacy admissions don't help advance lower-economic class whites.
(Interestingly, affirmative action and race based quotas ALSO don't end up helping poor minority students, either. Instead, you get the elite crop of minorities).
Raced-based affirmative action is bad for anyone who actually would REALLY stand to gain for some extra consideration in their lives in education and business. That would be lower class blacks, whites, hispanics. Right now you can check off your diversity box by letting in the sons of South American robber barons or African princes.
Real comforting for a kid whose dad is a mechanic and mom's a cashier but happens to be white. I'm sure he can be comforted by that privilege he has in comparison while he studies works a part time job in the summer while the Colombian robber baron's son vacations in Spain.
If race based considerations were removed and focused more on socioeconomic status, I'd venture you'd see the mix of Jewish whites (whose families are disproportionately wealthy) fall in comparison to non-Jewish whites. You'd also have a shift of more blacks from the lower classes, and a bump up in Asians.
Well my daughters would have been discriminated against by Harvard. They are white and asian. That's ok they got good educations anyway. Screw those racists.

It's not that white people are underrepresented, it's that gentiles aren't keeping up with their Jewish and Asian counterparts. Whose fault is that?
Careful: Lots and lots and lots of the same arguments lodged in 2019 against "white people writ large" vis-a-vis "privilege," "self promotion," "supremacy/our people first," "resource distribution," "in-group preferences," are the same ones often lodged against Jews - historically and at present.
In fact, that was basically Hitler's biggest ***** (he really didn't care about people of other faiths, and actually admired Islam for its supremacist qualities).
It's ALMOST as if the very foundation of liberal intersectional "social justice" is ripped from Mein Kampf with the characters changed around a bit.
You can certainly disagree with the ruling, but your title is misleading. The judge detrmined there was no conscious bias. That left open the question as to whether there was unconscious bias, of course. But the judge's decision was not to approve discrimination. The judge found none. Again, feel free to dispute that but your title is misleading regarding what the decision actually was.
Not sure what you read but the judge ruled nothing of the sort. The judge ruled (in line with previous SCOTUS rulings) that as long as race was used in a narrow and well defined way, then the benefits of utilizing it outweighed the fact that it is state sanctioned racism (i.e. racism is evil, unless it helps the 'right' people, in which case it's acceptable). Given that, the title is not misleading.

Now look at the Harvard President (the past THREE) I believe, now look at the executive board, then look at the admissions officers, you will find a common theme between all of these people.
Say a non-White racial group is upset or discriminated against due to policies, laws, or practices that favor White people. One would think they would also be against such practices that upset or discriminate against White people. Not always, especially those who have the mindset of "Now it is time for the White race to become oppressed". In other words, those non-White people have a hypocritical or double standard mindset. So much for equality.
