So. You reveal your true character. Kiss up and kick down. I happen to be a member of a privileged group, but I could not disagree with you more. It does not bother me a bit that a handful of white people can't go to Harvard because a handful of black people are admitted. And you have a very Asian view of what capitalism is. It's a view one small step away from the absolute corruption of supposedly capitalist places like China. We are capitalist. We are also a democracy.

I should have said Chinese. The better minds in America have always tried to soften the rough edges of capitalism to keep it from becoming just the law of the jungle. And we generally disapprove of nepotism and passing through generations of unearned privilege, as well as approve of trying to improve the lives and therefore the entire society by helping those who have faced generations of unearned discrimination.
