http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/02/15/whites.only.ap/index.html I'm absolutely DYING to hear the responses to this. Especially from Timing, pgabriel, Rocket River, etc.
Since it's an obvious attempt to make a point, it won't get the attention that a scholarship simply offered by those who normally offer scholarships (rich people, foundations, etc) would get if they put such a stipulation into the scholarship. Those who would defend minority scholarships know that what these guys want is attention, so the best course of action is to ignore them.
This passage from the article (italics mine, for clarification): brought to mind this passage from another website:
"No matter what my ethnicity is, I'm making a statement that scholarships should be given out based on merit and need," Mattera told the Providence Journal. "
I believe you are missing the quote where he says "I am also giving up my scholarship, as it was raced based." My bad, he never said that, farking hypocrite. Anyways, I think the only people who should fund a white only scholarship are the WWE and NASCAR.
these guys just sound like they are trying to make asses out of themselves. i think racial preferences are too much, but i just wanna slap these guys upside the head for being jackasses. its not even funny....its just stupid and racist.
If you are waiting to hear from Timing, I think you will be waiting for a long time. Dude either got banned or found something else to do with his life.
"Evidence of bleaching will disqualify applicants," says the application, issued by the university's College Republicans . They did manage to get a Latino kid to go along, Clarence Thmas like. I guess they are practicing for the years ahead in the GOP. Too bad the GOP won't speak out against college groups like this.
The dumbest thing about this is they are doing this to protest affirmative action, but private groups or companies can give scholarships based on anything they want to. If the KKK wanted to give a scholarship to only white kids, that's their perogative. These guys aren't even making sense. I'm sure there are scholarships for Jewish kids from Jewish foundations, Asian scholarships from Asian foundations and so on.

I went to her show a couple of years ago and it was just aweful. She's not funny at all. The worse 50 bucks I've ever spent. I was thinking about leaving in the middle of it. It was "battlefield earth" bad.
On Cho - it seems she's gotten less funny as time goes by. I remember seeing her on TV before her sitcom and thought she was hilarious then I saw bits and piece through the years and finally her documentary "I'm the One that I Want" and the funny bits just didn't seem very funny.
