Hey newbie, wanna try getting more info into your post? Nowhere in the part of the article you posted does it say anything about the boy being too white for the award.

If you click on the link to read the article you will see that the boy is technically an African-American and the first two years they had the award it went to white people. Sounds like the standards have become skewed to me.
