Double Standard Watch: Whites Only Scholarship

An anti-racial preferences stunt gets national attention--and entirely predictable outrage. The College Republicans are offering a $250 scholarship ... for whites.

The obvious double standard is that there are huge amounts of money available to minority students based on their ethnicity.

One amusing note is that, like scholarships that require the grantee to be 25% Hispanic, they are only asking the students to be 25% white--this includes most North American blacks, a large proportion of Indians, and almost all Hispanics.
