At last!!
I really have been waiting for <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/02/15 ... html">this one</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> for a while. <br><br>It's a scholarship for white students only. The purpose is to parody and protest affirmative-action type scholarships which base their qualification upon race. The guy who developed the idea was the winner of a hispanic scholarship, BTW.<br><br><br><br> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Re: At last!!
I have a problem against race/ethnicity being a factor in any kind application process. If a person of minority background and I have equal qualifications and that person is placed higher than me only on the grounds that he belongs to a minority, then that is racial discrimination. If affirmative action takes race into account then it is just as discriminatory as what it is trying to overcome.<br><br>I left the race section on my SATs blank. :P<br><br>Anyone remember the Fightin' Whities?

Awesome scholarship idea, very brave in this world of offend-me-and-get-sued. <br><br>I too remember reading about the Fighting Whiteys, and I also remember the local WASP population <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>loved</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> that team to death. I think the logo was some 50s dude in a fedora with a big grin on his face or something similar. <p></p><i></i>
