You have really never heard of "white males" getting minority scholarships?
I know someone who was just one quarter Portugeuse who got minority aid. A male I always knew as white.
There are other examples of this.
Please.
It is not about your "white skin".
im sure this happens but i dont appreciate attempts to argue by using the exceptions.
birth rates. its been a while since ive looked them up but im sure the birth rates for any minority group is higher than for evil whites. latins are growing the fastest since they also have mexico but i would be surprised if the black population wasnt also growing.
im not judging this change (well i think we should lock up the border) but theres nothing we can do if different groups of citizens have different birth rates. just accept the inevitable.
Now you are suddenly speaking about the border?
Where did that come from?
You were talking about African Americans.
No the birth rate is not increasing in that case.
You don't have to "look it up".
im sure if i take more time i can find more. this is from the census web site from our government.
Population Profile of the United States (http://www.census.gov/population/www/pop-profile/natproj.html - broken link)
The U.S. population is becoming more diverse by race and Hispanic origin.
The race and Hispanic-origin2 distribution of the U.S. population is projected to become more diverse. As the Black; Asian and Pacific Islander; American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut; and Hispanic-origin populations increase their proportions of the total population, the non-Hispanic White population proportion would decrease. By the turn of the century, the non-Hispanic White proportion of the population is projected to decrease to less than 72 percent with about 13 percent Black; 11 percent Hispanic origin; 4 percent Asian and Pacific Islander; and less than 1 percent American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut. By 2050, the proportional shares shift quite dramatically. Less than 53 percent would be non-Hispanic White; 16 percent would be Black; 23 percent would be Hispanic origin; 10 percent would be Asian and Pacific Islander; and about 1 percent would be American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut.
Non-Hispanic Whites, the slowest growing group, are likely to contribute less and less to the total population growth in this country. Although non-Hispanic Whites make up almost 75 percent of the total population, they would contribute only 35 percent of the total population growth between 1990 and 2000. This percentage of growth would decrease to 23 percent between 2000 and 2010, and 14 percent from 2010 to 2030. The non-Hispanic White population would contribute nothing to population growth after 2030 because it would be declining in size.
According to the middle-series projection, the Black population would increase almost 5 million by 2000, almost 10 million by 2010, and over 20 million by 2030. The Black population would double its present size to 62 million by 2050.
The fastest growing race groups will continue to be the Asian and Pacific Islander population with annual growth rates that may exceed 4 percent during the 1990's. By the turn of the century, the Asian and Pacific Islander population would expand to over 12 million, double its current size by 2010, triple by 2020, and increase to more than 5 times its current size, to 41 million by 2050.

im not speaking of the border specifically, the fact that millions of mexicans cross it to live all over the united states changes our demographics all over the country.
hispanics are not minorities? i have seen hispanics being mentioned throughout this thread. just because i used an example regarding blacks doesnt mean that they are all the sudden the only ones that are a part of this issue.

I don't know what the hispanic birth rates had to do with our discourse.
im glad that it happens but its meaningless because thats not what the minority scholarships are intended for. you cant justify a racist scholarship that is intended for acts of racist discrimination by saying that its ok because some white people slip through the cracks and manage to take advantage of them.

it was a little tangent that arose because i made an extra comment about whites becoming the minority and then you questioned that comment. then when i included hispanics, you disagreed because you thought i was only referring to blacks.
