Scholarships for People of Pallor

I love this kind of stuff (from Special Report):
The College Republicans group at Boston University is offering what it calls a "Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship" that requires applicants to be at least 25 percent Caucasian. B.U.'s "Daily Free Press" newspaper says students who want the $250 award must submit two essays — one on their ancestry and the other on what being a Caucasian-American means to them.

Schools, government and private organizations offer hundreds of scholarships targeted at various minority groups. The president of the College Republicans says his group is trying to make a point about the bigotry of racial preferences and affirmative action — not advocate white supremacy. He says a lot of people have been "agitated or upset" at the Caucasian scholarship idea initially — but understand the point when it's explained to them.

There's nothing better to demonstrate the silliness of race-based programs than to throw their own methods and procedures right back at them.
