what? dude you're making up stuff.

 

well your saying it's ok to refuse white kids scholarships based on their race right? or did I misunderstand

 

You misunderstood. I'm saying that scholarships for minorities are to help increase the number of minorities in college, but that there are also plenty of scholarships available to white kids (of which some are actually tied to being caucasian in a slight way, but in general just scholarships to which anyone can apply, not to mention financial aid).

 

The white people are becoming a minority

 

Ok now I get it, it's OK to have scholarships to encourage one race and discourage another. Gotcha.



I'm just arguing to kill time. I'm going to grandmas now. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

I didn't get a scholarship but I did get financial aid which was rather biased because of my parents' income. I only got half of my tuition, the rest was pretty much out of pocket.

 

that's ok your white you didn't need it.

 

i hope you're kidding. Its to encourage a race, thats it. where do you get discourage?

 

Personally, I got a scholarship (Like a 4K lump sum), but no federal or state financial aid. Having a mother who owns two properties in Santa Barbara = multimillionaire on paper = no financial aid, even though my family was single income and she was a public education teacher.

Technically, the only thing I see wrong in a "white only" scholarship is bad taste. They only did it to ruffle feathers and not actually, you know, help disadvantaged students (It's what the guy said himself! Even though they said later on that it can help disadvantaged students, the main focus was to draw affirmative action to light.)

Hell, I honestly feel that even I was probably shafted by affirmative action when I got rejected to Berkeley and UCLA (~1400 SAT, 3.7 GPA, 2 years of city college completed by the time I was 17, 4 years band, marching band, and jazz band, 3 years section leader, involved with volunteer projects, worked summers with a non profit organization, and swept my division in academic decathalon). I got shafted for financial aid, too. Did I cry and blame it on race? Nope. I went to the next school that accepted me, UCSC, got my BA, and now I'm making a very fair grip of cash.

Minority-preferential scholarships are just another attempt to level the playing field so that people who potentially come from a politically disadvantaged background can afford the high price of a BA.

 

fuck it, why cant white people have a only white people scholarship? there are worse people out there sometimes. they have black and latino only scholarships.

the latins and blacks should shut the fuck up, they got plenty of scholarships.
