What Is Wrong With White Only Scholarships?

Personally I don't think they are any better or worse than scholarships available to only blacks, hispanics, etc. etc. Racial/ethnic minorities would have you believe that they are the only ones suffering from poverty, prejudice, etc. and therefore they should be given all the breaks.

Whites Only Scholarship Creates Outrage

College Republicans Say Scholarship Was Created to Spark Debate

By ANNE-MARIE DORNING

BOSTON, Nov. 22, 2006 — - Joe Mroszczyk, president of the College Republicans at Boston University, admits he set out to stir up a hornet's nest when he came up with the idea of offering a whites-only scholarship at the school. But he got a little more buzz than he bargained for.

"To tell you the truth, we didn't see this coming," Mroszczyk said. "The Drudge Report picked it up yesterday, and today I just finished a round of national interviews. It's kind of overwhelming."

All the media attention is focused on a $250 Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship offered by Mroszczyk and the BU chapter of the College Republicans. Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher; they must write two essays; and, here's the kicker, they must be at least one-quarter Caucasian.

The application itself offers an explanation: "We believe that racial preferences in all their forms are perhaps the worst form of bigotry confronting America today."

According to Mroszczyk, his group is offering the scholarship to point out "how ridiculous it is to have any sort of racially based scholarship."

Kudos to Boston University......
