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.
You did the right thing.
Why help in the demise and erasure of your own people?
Maybe we should start up the United Caucasian College Fund... you know, “because a mind is a terrible thing to waste...” and all that...
If the packet was obviously excluding anyone of African ancestry, there’d be “outrage”,
so, you did the right thing.
