Perhaps the Whitest Whine of all: “It sucks to be white”

i can’t

i just can’t

So all those scholarships for Irish, Polish, Italian, English, Welsh, etc. aren’t specific to white people? Oh, or how about the fact that 99.75% of all scholarships are available to white people? Not to mention the history behind race based scholarships which includes POC not being able to access federal money for college. Oh yeah, & not being able to attend most colleges.

Notice that this person said, “there is A scholarship exclusive to minorities.” Not that there are hundreds or too many. Just that there is A - implying a single - scholarship for minorities. Apparently the very thought of there being even one single little thing, even ONE scholarship that isn’t open to white people is just enraging and unbearable to this person. 

You want an education, person? Start by doing the assigned reading:

1. Ten Myths about Affirmative Action. This will be on the pop quiz:

“As many as 15 percent of freshmen at America’s top schools are white students who failed to meet their university’s minimum standards for admission, according to Peter Schmidt, deputy editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education. These kids are “people with a long-standing relationship with the university,” or in other words, the children of faculty, wealthy alumni and politicians.

According to Schmidt, these unqualified but privileged kids are nearly twice as common on top campuses as Black and Latino students who had benefited from affirmative action.”

2. White Students Receive More Scholarship Money than Non-White Students.

3. White Students Recieved Almost Twice as Much Assistance As All Minority Groups Combined in the 2007-2008 School Year.

Try handling that much and then come back to me. Ugh. White entitlement: Because if I can’t have everything, I’ll make sure you get nothing. 

PS - I’m removing the “first world problems” tag, because umm, no. Higher learning institutions are not exclusive to highly developed nations. Other nations around the world besides those in the “first world” (woah is that problematic as hell as a phrase) have universities, colleges, and higher learning institutions and have for some time now. So, yeah. Not really a good tag to have. 

Honestly I’m sick of hearing my white peers complain about minority scholarships. Please and calmly, shut up and sit down

Oh shut up.  She should be lucky that she has s many different scholarships to choose from.  I wasn’t a top-notch student, so I couldn’t get the Millenium, but then that left me with no other scholarships available (at the time).  There was nothing for Filipinos or Pacific Islanders, nothing for Asians.  I only saw the different European ethnicities listed for white people, such as Irish, German, etc.  It wasn’t fair.  So don’t you go whining about ONE SINGLE “minority” scholarship when you’re a member of the majority.  Shame on you.
