University of South Florida finacial aid worker told me there was no finacial aid for me because I was white. This was after serving 4 years in the Air Force. And she was right, I did not get a single dime of aid even though I graduated JuCo with a 3.3. I wonder what the response would have been if my pigmentation was black or brown.

I was laid off from a company a few years ago (in Florida). I tried to apply for the TIPS program which is supposed to be open to ALL regardless of situation (except you have to be unemployed). I was turned down by a local One Stop. Later that wee I called a One Stop in another County and they said I more than qualified. Turns out some other employees I was laid off with also applied for TIPS. Guess which ones got it and which ones didn't? I posted on FR last week that I am a minority (white single male American). It's the truth. Hard not to get resentful or distracted by the reverse discrimination.
