The Wisconsin State Assembly's speaker suggested college grants meant for minority students are on the chopping block.

The GOP’s war on racially diverse college campuses was never going to be confined to the party’s war on affirmative action.

      It’s not racism to not want different rules for different races. Make scholarships for people from underprivileged families, not from race.

      Just because something is helping out a race that you want it to help out doesn’t make it free from racism.

        It’s my understanding that diversity scholarships generally put those below the poverty line first.

          Intention will be all over the place and it’s not just about scholarships. It’s about admission.

          What it actually did was put middle class minorities in higher end colleges at the cost of middle class white kids. It did very little for anyone who couldn’t afford the costs.
