Also, any other racial and ethnic minorities, women, and people with disabilities upon doing the prerequisites can apply for scholarships.
Doesn't mean that they will get them, either...and again, they are just not handed out....pay attention to the "hand out" part.

She's creating an ideal illustration which leads me to believe she's doing it on purpose and she's not being serious. If she's serious, however...

For Obama, Will Familiarity Erode Contempt?

For Obama, Will Familiarity Erode Contempt?
I've been playing around with the same exit poll data that Pollster.com's Charles Franklin has been looking at, on the percentage of the white vote received in different states by John Kerry and Barack Obama, respectively. Franklin has identified a correlation between the percentage of voters in a given state who are black and the share of the white vote that Obama received: essentially, the blacker the state was, the fewer whites voted for Obama. This correlation existed for John Kerry too, although it's a bit stronger for Obama:
