White guys get their very own college scholarship.

[RonPaulCult]

what does that mean? you are here creating a causality from nothing but hearsay.

Or I've researched what I'm talking about and am basing it on facts. Always a possibility.

A 1:4 chance of a cursing your family line with a debilitating disease that guarantees short life spans, in exchange for 2-3 years of having a "cute baby"

Right. You should inbreed like white European royalty and get hemophilia. I don't care who you sleep with. But you've got your theory on genetic diseases bassackwards.

That's why I spread my seed around to all cultures. I call my stick "the melting cock"

I must say, when I was in college about 10 years ago (not so long ago at all) minorities were very underrepresented. For those of you saying that it's stupid for any of the scholarship programs for people of color, why? Charity is so free market. I think it's great that people are trying to throw around their money in the PRIVATE sector to solve what they perceive to be a problem rather than demanding the government uses its power/force to solve the problem for them.

Racism DOES exist - people of color are statistically poorer, and less likely to to go to college. I don't think they are racist for giving scholarships based on good grades AND skin color.

Perhaps it's fine in the private sector, but there is also government-supported affirmative action programs that are racism against whites in all but name. I also don't think it's legal to have a private, whites-only college as it is legal for minorities. That's racism.

No! Don't take away the Asian cuties. I don't want one boring mixed "race".

I'm going to start a Scholarship for cute women. It'll be amusing to see the reception that gets.

There already is a scholarship for cute women. It's called life.

What facts you take the percentage of blacks in college and come to the conclusion that the difference must be due to racism? I don't take that kind of reasoning seriously.

Surely though, you have to admit that the legacy of racism has had some kind of lasting, negative impact on black culture.

 

[LinusVanPelt]

Affirmative action should be based on income. It would still disproportionately benefit minorities.

I believe that mast of todays "racism" is perpetuated by current events and not legacy events. I also feel that most "racism" comes from the so called victims. I can name several events that solidify and create "blowback" I am sure anyone here can name several also.

Will Caucasians become a minority in the USA?
We've all heard a lot recently of the projections by US Census Bureau stating that by the year 2042 Whites (Caucasian Whites) will no longer be the majority in the USA.
[...]

any bets on if whites ever get minority status or if PC will rule and current minorities retain their "special" rights.

Are they poor BECAUSE of their skin color? No.

Exactly. I'm tired of hearing this bullshit: correlation does not equal causation.

From what I've read, sickle cell anemia spread, in part, through natural selection. Because of the shape of the red blood cells, it's difficult for the malaria virus to infect people with sickle cell. So in places where malaria was prevalent, people with that gene were more likely to survive to adulthood and have a family. It would be interesting to study if something like this was in play with other genetic conditions around the globe.

It ties into black plague and aids also.
