Yes, the article states "After receiving scholarship requests from people who are of mixed race, Bohannon has qualified his requirements so that students are eligible if they're a quarter non-Hispanic white."
LOL @ both NAACP scholarships....
More importantly, Bohannon started this scholarship because non-Hispanic whites have become the minority in TX at 42% of the total population. The population minority means very little because whites are still, and probably always will be, the power majority in Texas and other states. So, a white scholarship isn't the worst idea in the world but it does make me laugh, considering the "we're a minority" angle. That doesn't even get into the fact that the white Hispanics will assimilate into "America whiteness" in about 10-20 years.
