"pygmy in the classroom" It's more difficult for somebody that's perceptually incompetent to succeed in academia than it is for somebody that is seen as gifted. This doesn't even have to be in ability--it can be the clothes the student wears or the color of their skin.

However, instead of do something about it, America wants to blame minorities for inspiring "guilt" into the rest of America so that they will provide them a "handicap." The reality is that these scholarships provide kids that are prone to becoming delinquent because there is no attainable alternative with the hope that they can be successful.

My mom used to say, "Don't be concerned if somebody else is gaining unless you aren't losing." Whites aren't losing out. They have every opportunity available to them.
