People are pitching a fit and hollering "racist"--what a surprise.....not. I wish they had added the stipulations "heterosexual" and "Southern" to "white, male". The whining would have broken the sound barrier...

The college didn't have a problem with this scholarship from what I read. Who is doing the complaining?

The complainers are the ones who make a living off racism--that is, keeping it alive and well, otherwise they would have to look for a real job.

Not surprisingly, such reassuring noises are getting a cold reception from some quarters in the civil-rights community.

“It looks to me like a simple provocation,” says Mark Potok, who monitors hate groups for the Montgomery, Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center.

I'd bet there is more, I just don't have time to research it at the moment.

A person has the right to give thier money to who they want. And besides, they might want to give it to me.

You only have to be 25% white to apply.

I saw that--so why the whining? Did you read the rest, where there's all kinds of "justification" for scholarships based on race, except if you are white? But they aren't complaining because this one requires you to be 1/4 white...well, what are they complaining about then?
