Well I guess TOPS IS racist. Good idea to get rid of all racist things to better the state

According to the report, released December 2015, 75 percent of students who received the awards in 2014 were white, with a majority coming from families who make at least $70,000 in annual income.

I guess getting a 2.5 is racist

Since when is $70k combined income affluent?

Yeah, well don't forget that blind standards like ACT score and GPA are racist too.

It was never meant to be a needs based scholarship. They have Pell grants and shite for that.

Yup. The value of the term "racist" has diminished to nothing.
It means nothing to me when I hear it.

Were 75% of the applicants white?

Median household income for most of the state is less than $40k...

What difference does it make who benefits from the TOPS program? They set out, defined educational requirements (X gpa, X act/sat). Anyone who classifies with their requirements can benefit from TOPS.
Also, I'm sure that a majority of white students choose to attend college over black students.

Let's add some perspective on that. What percentage of high school graduates in the state are white?
Also, two parents with 35k a year salary isnt anything to get wxcited about.

Pretty sure the targeted demographic for this article doesn't know what that's like.
