Neither is ok. But only one likely violates the constitution. Congress could make legacy admissions illegal if they wanted to.
Congress could've made affirmative action illegal if they wanted to?
But only one side works as the majority's dog whistle.
Yes. Even noted red state California (/s) voted in a referendum to make the practice illegal.
I really appreciate this take, because it reminded me that I can always call my congressman (or at least their office) and voice my opinion to ears that might be able to do something about it.
But asking them who their father is is fine?
If people gave a shit about fairness they'd care about legacy admission more than affirmative action.
No, that's not fine either and should also be outlawed due to a history of systemic racism giving some people an advantage over others.

Systemic biases exist, AA compensated for them banking AA is basically pretending this nation isn't racist AF.
That's not how it's going to play out in reality, unfortunately. I truly wish it were.
