After gutting affirmative action, Republicans target minority scholarships - eviltoast
The Wisconsin State Assembly's speaker suggested college grants meant for minority students are on the chopping block.

The GOP’s war on racially diverse college campuses was never going to be confined to the party’s war on affirmative action.

    Seems like their final solution is to stop basing scholarships, awards, and college placement off of the color of a person’s skin or their race.

      Median white household income in the U.S. - $74,262

      Median black household income in the U.S. - $46,400

      Maybe, possibly, black people need more help paying for college than white people?

      Let me guess, that lower income is their own fault. Black people need to collectively pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I wonder if education has a part to play in that?

      Actually it is to change it back to basing it off of wealth, family connections, and other things white people have more of than minorities.

      So race based outcomes without saying it out loud.
