Watch out, I stated that in a post and I got hammered as someone who is trying to get respect cause I was "demanding some kind of moral pass because you succeeded in a "white man’s world."

I am in no way in support of AA but people in the above article are just instigators. They just cause trouble like the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons. I swear people have a double standard when it comes to jackasses in their party vs. jackasses in another party.

I have friends who get scholarships b/c they went to Catholic schools, friends who get scholarships b/c they are also apart of an Italian-American or Irish-American ethnicity.

I think the big thing here is that people are saying it is okay to do wrong as long as the other person is doing wrong also. Well two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't agree with this particular method of protest. I thought the bake sales were good enough at getting the point across.

To me it does look tribalistic for one group to think their "minority" scholarship is superior to other groups' "minority" scholarships and to accuse each other of benefitting from affirmative action when it's clear they all are getting in on it. If the Puerto Rican guy is sincere, why doesn't he just work against these policies and refuse any money based on race?

Provided those scholarships are given by private organizations, there's nothing wrong with them. I've heard of scholarships for left handers, people named Kelly, and all sorts of 'discriminatory' designations. The problem is when the government does it based on race, which, whether SCOTUS can recognize it or not, is a violation of the 14th Amendment.
