Mixed feelings on this.
I think race should be completely disregarded is college applications/scholarships. Your socio-economical place in society is generally a much better indicator of need for aid than race alone. Either way, it seems racist to me.
Oh, the joys of being a white male applying for colleges. Doesn't help that my state only has two good ones...
I'm a white female, and I approve of this message. Of course, I'm also a vehement hater of rabid feminism; mostly the females who think they should be treated the same way as men, but think they shouldn't have to sign up for the draft. I mean, there are valid reasons for not having women drafted, but simply having a vagina isn't one of them.
More on topic however, I'd start a whites-only scholarship if people wouldn't rip my head off for it. It's like, a black scholarship is okay but a whites-only one is racist? In this day and age, that makes no sense unless you live in a country where slavery and racism are still the norm.
Originally I was going to respond to punkrockbigmouth (hence the bit about being a white female) but I figured it would make more sense to address the person who s/he responded to.
