If you have to be ethnically Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Irish etc. you are - again here is the word - effectively - limiting it to whites only.
Just like a schollie limited to people whose ancestry is Nigerian - effectively makes it a black scholarship.
A schollie for people of Chinese ancestry means - effectively - no whites needn't apply.
Either they all stay or they all go. I would have no problem either way.
I'd say you can't be this stupid, but you are piling up the evidence to the contrary.

If this is allowed, a White Caucus should be formed immediately.

Edit: I misread the scholarship/ grant name.
We can't keep advertising things as "equal rights" when they clearly discriminate against other races and contradict the foundation of the phrase. That's not specific to any race or situation.
If its private and nothing contradicts how the scholarships are given out then Idk where this goes. It will probably depend on the applications and how they are processed.

Not really. There is a difference between nationality and race. According to Google, there is a very small black population in Estonia. So I'm guessing they would be eligible for the scholarship. Nobody is complaining if there was a scholarship for people from Nigeria or Sudan. It's the ones that are based strictly on race.

If we allow a black caucus of course we should allow a white one too.

I think if it is a private scholarship that is fully privately funded they should be able to include and exclude whoever they want. It would be no different than a private organization funding scholarships for children of Veterans or any other private group pooling financial resources for a specific purpose.
Now, the moment any government funding is taken by that private group the rules change.

I get the feeling you don't know what "effectively" means

Agreed....we should be excluding people based on the content of there character.

Re: Affirmative Action
My old man (not a racist) who died in the 1980s saw the fallacy then.
His question then was who or what entity in charge of affirmative action would know exactly that the playing field has been sufficiently leveled to then cease the practice?
It is a rhetorical question and it has no legitimate answer, hence Affirmative Action is also a fallacy.
The playing field is now sufficiently leveled to discontinue this illegitimate policy.

In the 80s, Jesse Jackson was asked that exact question. His response was, "whenever we get a black president". Well we got one and I never heard him or any others demanding an end of affirmative action.
