I am a half-orphan and I couldn't agree more. I actually would be very pissed at people that would give me preference due to that circumstance. On race too btw, although historically that were mostly negative quotas. That is bad too of course.

I know it was just an example, but there is actually some form of this "patchwork propaganda", where naive people can feel good about being so accepting of something that can be very hard work and wouldn't be the first choice of most people.

You don't need a Harvard degree to understand this to be condescending. Although that doesn't help either as it seems.
