you know what's racist af? People implying that Malia got into Harvard due to her last name.

94. Funny how selective your ability to hear dog whistles seems to be

And when you say a Jewish candidate has the blood of children on his hands, when you hold a Jew directly responsible for the murder of children, then unless he actually did kill them himself, that is absolutely blood libel, which is undeniable antisemitism. There's also the overwhelming double standards against him vs. non-Jewish candidates, and the unbased assumption of anti-black racism. Antisemitism is as much a feature of 2016's primary campaign as negrophobia was in 2008.

Now as to your "point," I don't disagree with you, in principle. if someone is saying that Malia Obama has no qualifications for Harvard, then yes, that definitely would carry racist implications.

But I think you're missing something. That being that qualification and legacy are not mutually exclusive. Harvard and other Ivy League schools get TONS of qualified applicants. They then pick and choose from those applications. And Harvard is not going to send a response headed with "We regret to inform you..." to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, District of Colombia, 20500. Simply pointing out that legacy and prestige are very much a factor of Ivy League school admittance isn't a slight against Malia Obama.

Now the issue with your post is that you are basically reducing Malia Obama to a two-dimensional racial cypher, a tool for your own use - and that use is making yourself look good on the internet. it seems kind of like a thing you do. Look, if you really want to address the problem, yelling about it to a bunch of other people, in the most generalized, vague, indirect manner possible isn't going to help. If someone is saying Ms. obama "isn't qualified," by all means, take their asses to task, they earned it. it'll be more effective than your soap-boxing in GD.
