All the media attention is focused on a $250 Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship offered by Mroszczyk and the BU chapter of the College Republicans. Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher; they must write two essays; and, here's the kicker, they must be at least one-quarter Caucasian.Mroszczyk also points out that there are many economically disadvantaged whites who would be helped by scholarships. Unmentioned in the ABC story is a trend among young people, even those who view themselves as liberals, who have no memories of the racial oppression and civil rights struggles of the fifties and sixties, to view minority students as being given preferential treatment. Many see Affirmative Action programs such as minorities-only scholarships as counter-productive holdovers from that era, which promote mediocrity and maintain racial divisions.The application itself offers an explanation: "We believe that racial preferences in all their forms are perhaps the worst form of bigotry confronting America today."
According to Mroszczyk, his group is offering the scholarship to point out "how ridiculous it is to have any sort of racially based scholarship."

I think it's fine to have some "helping hand" kind of financial aid and "alternative standards" --- for the children of parents who haven't had a post-high school education, irrespective of race or ethnicity. It could be argued that such young people tend to emerge from childhood under some disadvantage, and that it is in the interest of society to help them break out of the lower class existence that often results. But, that's a one-time fix, not a philosophy that we live with from generation to generation. And it would eliminate financial aid earmarks for minorities who are NOT particularly disadvantaged, but still "count" for purposes of special treatment.

Unfortunately, many blacks and liberals have taken the bait and have run with it, only to look like fools.
Of course, you guys will make sure that we liberals understand the issue, won't you?

Yes, because a dialogue about race based scholarships always makes Liberals look like fools.

It would be easier to explain quantum physics to a high crack addict.

Isn't it true that a 'publicity stunt' like this wouldn't work if the rules were really balanced?
If there werent any racial favoritism in affirmative action, could there be any mockery of that favoritism?
There is only one human race, and everyone belongs to it. That should be what we teach our children from day one.
Can you get behind that?
USA all the way!

Gotta mix another drink.
I need to start a United Causasian college fund. I promise to give 10% of any monies collected to poor whites in need of education. The rest will go to staffing my office with 21 yr old blondes who can't type.

You guys can't separate an opinion on one issue from an opinion on an unrelated issue, and you call me an idiot, even when I agree with you?
You guys are just fucking amazing!
As long as there are privately funded race based scholarships, they can be given to anyone the fund chooses to, right?

Republican too even though I am a Mexican American. The leters to this forum
show the racists that respond to this cheap and
tactic. This is not about liberalism, this is about racist whites. The vulgar answers
here prove what scum we are
dealing with here. No one denies you scholarships because you are white. They
denied you because you were not white.
Stop telling your racist lies.
You are racists. You can
keep your damn $250.00, and go to hell.

The point is poor white people deserve the same opportunities as browns and blacks. Perhaps when and if you ever become a American instead of a Mexican
American you will understand. Us racist white folds pay the bill. Why shouldn't we receive some of the benefits? And you don't know racism when you see it. Viva la Raza.

Paul,
now you're showing some progress. Obviously you don't need whitey's hand-outs because you have a shred of dignity and self-respect left (hello! that's the whole point!).

When a charity funding organization discriminates, I don't see the deprived charity rioting in the streets.
Many local chapters of the United Way continue to descriminate on funding of the Boy and Girl scouts, since those organizations don't allow gays or Atheists.
I don't see the boy and girl scouts or their parents rioting in the streets.

If Whitey is so racist, how come they hand out scholarships to every group except White people?
Why don't you live in Mexico, as a proud "Mexican American?" (A clear contradiction. But then, a nation that cant speak Spanish correctly cant be expected to produce citizens who speak English and know the difference between America and Mexico.) Could it possibly be because Mexico is a disease ridden shit-hole full of under-achieving, racist, 4 feet tall, assholes?
You're stupid enough to qualify for a race, sex--or in your case, ethnicity based scholarship. You should look into that. As a "racist," I'd be proud to pay your unearned way through college. Puto.

It's obvious that piddledick is such a socialist he doesn't know what racism is. What white only scholarships? The only one in existence is this joke that you leftist pricks fell for.
Hope you minorites realize that if you can call white people racist we can call you racist. We would be far more correct. While I happen to harbor no dislike for the Mexican people I think they have been brainwashed into thinking whitey is racist. We're so racist we let them come to our country. Does that make sense? When whitey looks at a Mexican and shakes his head do you Mexicans ever think that it could be the FUCKING FLAG YOUR WAVING. Mine is red, white and blue. A third generation Mexican (American) in a boxing match still receives calls of Viva Mexico and carries a Mexican flag around the ring. Does that make sense? It only makes sense if your heart is still below the border. So excuse me if I treat you as a the foreigner you act like. Strange how you never wave the Mexican flag when going to a free hospital or to the welfare office. As long as you wave the Mexican flag your a Mexican. So act the part amd gp back to your wonderful country. It's waiting for you to bring the gringos money back with you.
