re: Is it racist for a university to set aside scholarship money for one race only?

However, big donors should be able to be as prejudiced as they wish in regards to who gets a scholarship from their endowment.

I'm fairly certain that this is how the scholarships were established. Wealthy donors gave the money and made that stipulation. But again, I'm not questioning the legality of what hey did as a private institution. I'm questioning the morality of their decision.

IMO their decision does not pass the "shoe on the other foot" test.

You both have zero comprehension, and are rustled as frick because I mentioned racism in a racism thread

Lol, that's cute coming from a whiny slave. Break free from the chains and get off the plantation, you will like what you see.

Nothing you say will ever rustle me, that's a fact. I don't let the opinions of those who are incapable of manning up and taking care of their own business bother me. Quit looking for handouts and get your arse busy.

Not quite as racist as not letting a race attend a university, but it hasn't been that long, relatively, since that was pretty common

Still happening right now to Asians because they're too smart and driven. They need more room for dipshit lazy arse clowns

It depends who gives the money. If it's a private individual, they can give the money to whomever they choose. If it's taxpayer money, then it should not be based race.

ETA: misunderstood the question...yes, it's racist.

There are maybe 2 universities in the u.s. that don’t take any government money. Those are the 2 than can do this. The rest are criminals getting away with it.

Honestly, I think the market will regulate this out. If universities are letting in unqualified candidates, it'll make their university worse. Let market forces destroy bad practices.

Of course it is racism.

But racism is a merely tool that is deployed by various groups and governments on a regular basis to further their goals.

Being only a classification tool, racism is amoral.

The underlying goal is where moral judgment can be made.

Btw, just for context, I'm asking this question because the president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary announced today at the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Birmingham that his seminary now has scholarship money set aside exclusively for African American students. I get it that they want more black students at their school. It just seems that they're committing an immoral act to do it.

Any money set aside for the asians?

Asking for a friend.

All snide horseshite

Mighty white of you to volunteer Asian kids getting fricked over

So you're saying that racial discrimination used to deny black students from entering Universities pre 1980 is entirely equal with with discriminating against Asians because the institution prefers an environment that's (wait for it) more reflective of American culture?

Look, I dont care about this as much as getting you to drop it.


The best solution is to make it a blind selection.


In other words, remove names and race off applications. You are given a number identifier. Only your stats will be considered. Likewise, recommendations are tied to your number.

Would that make you happy? This would work for public universities. Private universities should have their own say.
