The major affirmative action program at Harvard is for the children of alumni, donors, and faculty, plus athletes

(LINK ADDED--sorry about that!)

43% of (only) white students are at Harvard because of these affirmative action programs.   I'm sure a significant number of non-white students benefit from these same preferences.  What a joke the crown jewel of the "meritocracy" is!

(Thanks to David Livingstone Smith on FB for the pointer.)
