You can give a scholarship to anyone you want.
Is this a private organization?
If so, they can do as they please........................
Institutionalized discrimination.
Its worse than that. They really aren’t giving “scholarships.” They are setting a price point and then jacking up the price on whites and Asians. Its not like they have some magic pot of money to dole out while keeping prices for everyone else low.
There are good reasons why certain groups are under-represented in the field. The cost of tuition does not number among them.
I am an urban public school teacher. A number of years ago, a received a scholarship packet to distribute to my 12th graders.
It was from one of Bill Gates’s foundations. The foundation offered tuition assistance to those 12th graders who were going to college as science majors.
But not every such student was eligible. Eligibility was based on your ancestral nationality.
There was a very long list. It was like a world atlas. Algerian, Sudanese, Pacific Islander, Brazilian. It went on and on.
Then I noticed something. There was not a single European country on the list. Even Russia did not make the list. Gates could have saved himself a lot of ink by simply stating: no whites.
I threw the packet in the trash. To h*ll with that sort of thing.
Some might say that I denied those on the list from a chance at a scholarship. That might be true. But the whole concept was unethical and evil from the start. I wanted no part of it.
sounds like a good excuse for men to indicate on their application that they “identify as a female”, surely they have scholarships for that!
Black privilege.
DevBootCamp should be outed for the racists they are.
But on their own webpage, they cannot figure out how to put in a decent left margin, and they have a tab that overlaps the main body of text -- and you cannot remove it or collapse it.
SIGN ME RIGHT UP FOR *THAT*!!!!
And their ‘Alumni’ are a bunch of failed 3rd world nobodies. Don’t sweat it.
Legality doesn’t enter into the discussion. There are many laws that are invalid, and don’t apply.
It’s WRONG. Unfair.
“How the heck can a “scholarship” awarded by an educational institution based on race or sex be legal?”
Imagine the uproar if a scholarship fund was earmarked “Whites Only.”
I am starting the Transracial movement to take advantage of these programs. Whites can feel and identify as any race they want. Same for blacks, Asians, arabs, Persians, Indians, everyone. Everyone can chose whichever race they identify with and be granted the entitlements given to the race of their choosing.
If some freakshow that chopped off his own penis and stuffed a bunch of silicon in his chest can identify as a woman than I can sure identify myself as a Filipino.
