First and foremost, I don't agree with any scholarships that aren't based in financial need FIRST.
Second, it IS different than scholarships for women and minorities because of institutional sexism and racism which we still have not "overcome" in this country, as evidenced by salary disparities among men and women, and among whites and minorities. Race-based scholarships and gender-based scholarships were established to level the playing field -- not to stick it to the man.
THIS scholarship was established in racism. You don't have to have a problem with it for it to still be problematic.
