I guarantee that if that dentist’s kid does not get into their preferred college, that dentist will still blame affirmative action. The unspoken belief is that people like them *deserve opportunity* and people who don’t look like them do not.

Yes. They actually cast that as benevolent. They actually say it’s liberal or fair due Black people to be steered or limited to manual and menial labor. Echoes of the benevolence of slavery handed down and repackaged as a form of liberalism. Quite a number of white academics advanced that argument.

I have an older relative who blamed affirmative action for his not getting into his preferred college, even though he entered college before affirmative action began.

I have a feeling too many people view their children as an investment rather than simply a human. They want the return they believed was owed to them.

I had a roommate in medical school that complained about DEI but he only got in because of DEI (he was white but was considered diversity because he came from a rural underserved community).

The entire time the 20% or whatever it is of unqualified legacy or donor kids just skate on by, as everyone argues over the one spot that might have gone to an exceptional minority candidate instead.
