It's so funny how the class of people who most criticize "entitlements" (read: social services paid for by taxes) are the same class of people who are most "entitled" (to admittance in (so-called) elite institutions).
Umm I think you'll find the criticism of both things comes primarily from the right. To be clear, this push to remove standards is coming from the left (in the guise of racial justice blah blah blah) but the beneficiaries will primarily be the untalented children of the gentry class (the Lori Laughlin's of the world).
I get the racial justice angle. I just have a bad feeling that in the long run this sort of thing will end up hurting racial justice more than helping.
