Affirmative action and legacy admissions both discriminate.

Somebody has to be 5th from bottom. Reckon they're all legacies, too?
Also, even if you're a legacy, in the service academies you still have to pass the entrance exams. The legacy thing gets you a leg-up afterward.
Finally, do you think his dad's having been a legacy is why he was an outstanding naval officer? Or was it despite having been a legacy?
