Haha. I thought I said not to conflate the two? You seem to be oblivious to the fact that people can say the same thing about whites and legacy and athletic considerations and be just as "accurate," so what's the point of even arguing about this?

You thought correctly; you did say not to conflate the two. My point is that there’s nothing to conflate. All you did was call a pig a swine and proceed to act like there’s some huge difference.
OK, let’s assume that it is a fact that people can “say the same thing…” I will replace my paragraph accordingly as follows:
You’re trying to tell me that a legacy student doesn’t receive preferential treatment because he’s a legacy, he receives it because there aren’t enough legacies. Well, if there aren’t enough legacies and you want more legacies in the student body, then on what basis do you grant preferential treatment to rectify this problem? Legacy status.
Wow, you’re right. My statement is just as accurate, and in both cases, you are wrong. Blacks receive preferential treatment because of their race, and legacy students receive preferential treatment because they’re legacies. Thank you.
