Michael Savage's father came to the US legally. Never got "a nickel" from the government. His son, Michael, went to the government office building and said "My family is really poor. I want to go to college but I can't afford. I want the government financial aid on this program sheet."
The man leaned back and laughed at me. You can't have any aid, that is just for black people. You aren't black."
I got the same answer from an admissions officer at Boston University, but he used the phrase “not of the right socio-economic class”
Thankful to that guy because it led me to join the Air Force and use GI Bill to get my Masters Degree
