Why can't Americans get any American only scholarships?


Dude no doubt, there was one for I think women, asians, american indian, african american, "special needs" alaskan native and some other groups of people, but not for white males.

Also, did you see this one?

Its a scholarship for "any highschool teen that can call ducks". Yep, I'm learning how to call ducks.

Im gonna go ahead and say by not discriminating you discriminate so not being racists, is racists in and of itself.

For instance white people are mostly called white, however if you call a black person black it can be racist, But if you say the PC term "African american" you are pretty much saying " your different so i should refer to you differently" which is racist..... so there

Scholarships arent going to just look at your skin and say yes or no. They will look at your birth certificate.

Well, the first guy is German born. He's never been to America.
The second, she was born in Africa and moved to America later on.
He can't be African American.
She is.

For me, I have an issue with calling someone a "minority" in general. If you want to be treated equally then why do you also expect money for college dedicated towards being a "minority". If men are equal then there IS NO minority. Realistically, I'm 21 years old and I understand that the USA isn't perfect regarding this issue but how could it ever be if said minority groups perpetuate to their own people that they aren't equal?

I mean, take a look at how black culture is perpetuated in hip hop/ R&B/ and rap now. If a white person can't use the "n" word then how can you justify making millions of dollars using it?

I think it's a matter of ethics involving the "minority scholarships". It's a matter of race, but not so much as it is ethics, in my opinion.

Good points DPM.

I think it is an issue of culture and that can only be changed by the parents HOWEVER, the education system also needs to be revamped too because colleges seem to embrace the view that there are underprivileged groups and that they need to address this by showing favorable treatment thus you have what we have today.

Besides who turns down free money for skool?
