True, but those are usually open to all. What the white kid WON'T qualify for is a scholarship from a race-specific group, like the UNCF. In the end, the poor white kid, who's just as disadvantaged as any minority kid, will not have as many opportunities as a similarly intelligent black kid. And that fact makes what some of these neo-nazis are saying a little less ridiculous after a while. BTW, diversity is code for race or ethnicity, not economic status. Whenever you hear "a commitment to diversity", it usually means increasing minority representation, even if it means suspending the concept of merit. |
