Just to chime in and further derail this thread: At my high-school there were a crapload of scholarships "available" that I didn't qualify for. One specifically stated that you had to be of Italian descent, another you had to be a mainlander Chinese descendant, others east-Indian, etc. etc. I don't think, as someone with white skin, that I qualified for a single scholarship, and if I did it was out of my reach, because it was available for everyone, like all scholarships should be.
If anyone offered a scholarship that stipulated the recipient had to be white, well, heads would roll. I grew up in south Burnaby, BC, btw. When minorities do things like this, it's "helping the community!", if white people do something like this, it's a clear cut case of racism. Personally, I think it's stupid, and race discrimination ought not to be supported by the education system. Having school-recognized groups like "The East-Indian Friends Club", and "The Asian Alliance", is bad enough, but then to offer benefits based on race - well, that's just going the distance. It's all f*cked up.
I'm not a racist screwball, my girlfriend of 3 years is Chinese. She also belonged to a "Reach Out Against Racism" group here in Calgary, Alberta. I sat in on a few sessions. It boiled down to, basically, the white people there willingly nailing themselves to crosses and people of every other skin colour supplying the hammers and nails. She has since quit the group - but yea. I don't know. To repeat: It's all f*cked up. Year of the boomerang, I guess.
Oh, and the notion that minorities are not interested in technology, computers, etc. Well, go f*ck yourself. That's as racist as any of this other crap.
