If your parent and/or grandparents attended a school and/or are big donors, you have a much better chance (at Harvard its a 400% better chance..) of getting into the school over an equally qualified student. Its called Legacy Admissions, and close to 98% of all of them go to white students. Legacy admissions exist at almost all major state universities and ivy league schools.
I think its rather telling that the "fairness" whiners only start bleating when its minorities getting pushed ahead.
