@dave @leftout I don't think he's conflating. The original complaint was that Asian American students were being held to higher admission standards than white American students, at least 2 years ago when I heard about this Harvard lawsuit. I didn't really understand until much more recently that that was due to legacy admissions, not affirmative action (for white students, lol). But I genuinely think a lot of journalists and activists are doing some mixing and matching to conflate the two and try to convince people that getting rid of affirmative action, but not legacy admissions is somehow going to help Asian American applicants. It sounds like this is not the case, and I wouldn't be surprised if nothing changes about the admission standards for Asian Americans vs white Americans.
