One assumes that OP doesn't want a start, but an end.

It's a fair question if the OP is actually interested in whether there are situations where white people are considered a "minority" and provided with benefits/affirmative action because of such status. I'm not sure why you are getting so upset at my question?

There are "affirmative action" programs aimed at underrepresented classes - even white people. Many HBCUs for example provide scholarships funded for the white minority student.

Business? WTF does that have to do with how a black or white a city is? If somehow a business thinks they have too many blacks and not enough whites, then I guess you might be in luck.

Education? LSU is not majority black so that doesn't apply either. You might have a minor point about Southern since they don't have "white" scholarships per se. But pretty sure they don't have affirmative action in either admittance or scholarships that benefits blacks either.

Race bonus for standardized testing? Uhm. What?

Minority only programs and scholarships everywhere. Again, has frick all to do with the city of baton rouge. It has to do with how diverse those schools are. And minority scholarships are not taxpayer funded, they are private dollars. So what the frick do you care, it's not your money.

Look, I get your point that Asians (and to a lessor extant whites) get a raw deal from some colleges in admittance. But trying to relate it to demographics in Baton Rouge is incoherent.
