The Gates Millennium Scholarship target is high achieving minority students in need of financial assistance. That’s not specific enough for you? You obviously don’t LIKE it, but it is very specific.
One imagines it would exclude the Sisters Obama and Jesse Jackson, Jr., in addition to white students who historically have more avenues open to them when they ARE high achieving, even when from poor families.
“.... in addition to white students who historically have more avenues open to them when they ARE high achieving, even when from poor families.”
Forget the “historical advantages”. They’re not here now and haven’t been for some time. For example, my daughter graduated from H.S. in 1991. She was rated #18 in a class of over 440 students. A Black kid across the street who didn’t have nearly as good a grade point average as my daughter was awarded $50,000+ in scholarships. My daughter was awarded $4,000. Go figure. Then get back to me about “disadvantaged minorities”.
“, in addition to white students who historically have more avenues open to them when they ARE high achieving, even when from poor families.”
...and this is where you have your head up you ass. You think a poor White kid from North Louisiana or Appalachia has some sort of magical power to get into college quicker than a Black kid from Compton?
Its not 1960 anymore.....if it ever was the 1960 you seem to imagine. White skin is no golden ticket to anything in this country.
I see now why you approve of racial discrimination as long as its against your own children though. I hope you join the real world for their sake. Popular culture & governmental regulations have already turned against them, its a shame that their parent has too.
