What trips me out about this situation is that many of us (miniorities) are still being left out. First, we had to establish HBCUs to educate our own. Then, we had to fight to get to attend "other" universities, that's when HARDER AND STIFFER rules and regulations were set to KEEP us OUT! Now, well, not in Louisiana (this miniority scholarship thing has been going on for some time now) anyway...minority scholarships must be offered at predominately black colleges and universities.
What really gets me is that there are FEWER blacks receiving minority scholarships at PREDOMINATELY white universities. I would bet that less than 5% of a (pred. white) school's black population has a GPA of 4.1
However, many non-blacks ( I bet more than 50%) are finding their way to HBCUs. In droves! For instance,I know at both of my my alma maters, the nursing schools are 80-90% white. They are getting in with no problem, all the assistance everything!
For peopl of color, it continues to be a struggle! The white universities set their standards to receive scholarships and it is hard for MOST or dang near impossible of/for us to reach that standard. Yet, some people can EASILY get what they want from us! Really, that is really a slap in our faces!
