I don't hear you complaining about prejudice scholarship pertaining to majors. What about those? Racism is real and never will die. Just as mentioned before about black kids beating whites, Whites kids are still beating blacks (example----> NEWS: WHITE TEENS KILL BLACK MAN IN MISSISSIPPI + CNN VIDEO | CONCRETELOOP.COM). Lets be honest here since its on the table. Who here when by yourself or with a group speaks negatively about another group of people whether it is Whites, Blacks, Hispanics or Asians (even if it is just when they piss you off). Of course nobody lol. Welcome to the statistic and living in a newer age.
Those percentages arn't far from each other, I don't see a huge issue. There are 24% more white kids in college vs other groups combined. There's no reason those numbers couldn't be 50/50. Secondly, that white group receives 48% more scholarships. (I'm doubtful to these 'facts' but let's run with it). How many black/white/hispanic/asian students applied for these scholarships? That's where you can determine if there is an issue. And here's one of the main differences between scholarships based on majors vs races: You can chose what major you go into. When you do this you take into consideration job opportunities, salary, cost/time for education, and even scholarship availability if you're smart. You can't chose what race you're born into. So a black kid wouldn't be eligible for a whites only scholarship, not based on his choices, but his skin color. Equally, a white kid wouldn't be eligible for a black only scholarship for the same reason.
