Don't you agree it's unfair that an athlete with lower grades, or someone whose family has a legacy, gets into the college of your dreams, and you don't? Wouldn't you be peeved? Which is worse -- that a priviledged scion with a 2.4 GPA in high school gets in, or a hardworking black student from inner city schools gets in? Yet, noone is complaining about the athletes or the legacies. Why race?

Because this thread is about race. I think any prefferential treatment to people who don't deserve it is unfair. And as I said....COMPLETELY EQUAL IN ALL THINGS BUT RACE.

And, many *private* scholarships are specifically geared towards funding minority education. This is irrelevant to the affirmative action debate, since many scholarships are funded external to the university. Not to mention, there are scholarships for -everything-.

In California there are no minorities. Just because you are of a different race does not make you a minority.
If there were scholarships geared towards whites what do you think would happen?

Americans (and I am speaking of Americans specifically) of Western European descent are so ethnically mixed that it's impossible to separate the large number of them into distinct minorities. Yet a Cambodian is lumped with a Japanese or a Tibetan or an Indian -- Asia (especially the Middle East), to the minds of most Americans, is a homogeneous cultural 'blob'. It's intentional cultural insensitivity and ignorance.

Where do you get your information? Sitcoms? Look at this board. Most of the people here seems to be able to distinguishg between the different cultures and races just fine. (See the argument about Jordan......) You are busy trying to pigeonhole all whites.
Who is the racist here?

Yes, you've had it harsh, huh???? What-with racial profiling, Jim Crow laws, slavery, incarceration. The tough life.

1) Our generation has never owned slaves. Your generation has never been slaves. Get over it. Move on. Better yourselves without excuses. There are more opportunities around for everyone than ever before. Get off your ass, stop playing oh poor me and get on with life.
2) There are more laws in place CURRENTLY that protect those not white.
3) I am not completely white. I am 1/2 Native American. Couple that with being a bisexual female. You want to talk about minority?
Some of us are living in the here and now. Living our lives. Not blaming anyone for the sins of the past. No one today can be held acountable for what was done before they were born.
GET THE FUCK OVER IT.
