Would it be racist to have a white college fund? African Americans have one. Isn't that racist?
Don't talk to me about the past. We all know what happen. So tell me why it is ok for african americans to have one but not ok for whites to have their own too. There are poor whites too.
Also if you think that asking this question makes me racist than your Answer is meaningless to me. and don't even wast your time Answering.

I feel the exact same way, I believe that afirmative action is like reverse racism, it also bothers me that a more qualifyed white person would not get a job but a less qualifyed african american would get that job just because the company needs to fill a qouta.

I answered a similar question not to long ago. Kinda goes like this.
You can 'define' african americans. But you can NOT define "white".
There ARE Scottish American funds, Irish American funds, etc
Because THAT can be Defined.
I'm sure the Irish funds require the same type of proof of lineage we do for American Indian Funds.
ie. Some type of document that proves your Irish.
hope this answers your questions.

The fact that ppl question this b/c African Americans have one is racist in itself. AA's are not the only group of ppl who have established college funds. A lot of minority groups do. Women have college funds, Irish American women, ppl born of Scottish descent, handicapped, descendants of Veterans, Hispanics, Asians ALL have college funds. I read ppl who play bagpipes have a college fund! So why this is aimed at just AA's is racist in itself.

The United ***** College Fund gets its money from blacks who want to help other blacks.There are whites only programs such as Italian American college fund, Irish American scholarships and the whites only scholarships paid for by college republicans. However, I don't understand why the black college funds make white people so angry when only 11% of all college freshmen are black.

Look be upset with the racist SOB's that wouldn't give us scholarships...The government wouldn't have them for us if there wasn't a need. I'm pretty sure you can get one if you tried. There are scholarships for everyone...So quit whining and do some research....

Yes it would be racist. It is racist to have an African- American college fund as well.
I believe that scholarships given on ethnicity based are wrong. It's only asking for racial tension. It creates such massive problems.
Scholarships should be given to those with economic disadvantages or those who are doing extremely well in education or community aspects.
It's not just scholarships that are unfair. In New Zealand we have the Maori Political Party and a Maori TV channel. Imagine if we have a 'White Peoples' Political Party or a White Peoples TV channel. It would never be allowed.
I'm not racist but I believe every single race should be treated equally.

EVERYONE has a fund of some sort. I'm a southpaw & guess what? There's a scholarship for people who are left-handed. Let me ask you something. Why is it that whenever Black people create something to help themselves, society is ready to dump on it & take it away? Why is wanting to better your race considered racism (especially when your race has been told that they are inferior)? I'm not calling you a racist, per se, but I was just throwing it out there.

NObody and I mean nobody is oppressed in America unless the are defeatists.... period!!!
The job market and education oppurtunities would open up if we created funds for others like the afro americans have
There are Polish German Latino & Chinese who should be benefiting from educational programs
America is a melting pot
No ethnic group should be singled out for benefits
Thats the true prejudice
And that word is evil anyway
Why doesn't somone realize it and get going
