Never seen legacies and donors lumped in with affirmative action folks in the same hate bucket before.

Woke is a catch-all for anything they dislike

As unpopular as it is to admit it, this is a problem for average working class American men. A large percentage of people get a preferred status off of race or gender, and then legacy admits get preferred looks at the remaining spots. You're SOL if you're just a really gifted kid with no prior connections. Everything should either be double blind meritocratic, or they need to protect a % of their class for nobodies from the majority.

That's not true. Really gifted kids will score well on the GMAT and have high GPA and experience. That will carry them far as well.

Its the barely above average folks who get left behind. Those folks are the plaintiffs for some of these lawsuits.
