Depends what it is. If it's "more opportunity because you inherited my house when I died" - fair enough. If it's "more opportunity because I got my mate Dave to hire you over other more qualified candidates" then that's shit.


But we're discussing people being additionally qualified by accident of birth, having afforded them opportunities, and not because Dave met someone in a pub last year.

Is it "shit" that Liza Minelli had a great head-start in her entertainment career by being Judy Garland's daughter?

Of course it is. Same goes for all the other nepo babies.
