Colleges look for diversity in their classes, so the issue may not have been about scholarships but gaining admission to the school. Being Indonesian would have been a very exotic addition to the class.

Anyway...The above is pure speculation. There are more than enough solid **facts** regarding Obama’s eligibility that should sound the alarm for any reasonable person.

Dude. He's half black. That's all he needed to get the "diversity" advantage in admissions.

Indonesians are classified as "Asian, Pacific Islander," a racial group that has consistently been considered "overrepresnted" by elite colleges. Hence it actually would have been a distinct disadvantage to apply as an Indonesian for reasons of "diversity."
