Minority-Only Scholarships

I'm looking at scholarship info right now, and I'd say aobut a fourth of them have being a minority as a requirement. I kind of view it as an unofficial form of affirmative action, because if there was ever a white only scholarship (actually I think the KKK gives one like that away) people would rave about racism and intolerance, while it's all fine if a good portion of scholarship money is disproportionately spent on a group representing a relatively small percentage of the population.

I've found a few other types as well. Some are available to women, Irish, Italians, and other groups. All I'm saying is that if you want to strive for equality, don't base merit on race.
