[QUOTE]Originally posted by 9cobra7: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Black 02 SS: [qb] The ignorance is STRONG on this forum. Such close minded people with no real sense of what goes on at higher education institutions. I could post a slew of scholarly articles explaining the barriers minorities face in seeking higher education but you close minded people could care less to educate yourselves and would rather stick with your own biased opinions. For those of you who care, take a look at persistence rates beyond the first year for minorities vs whites at college/universities. Compare the rates at which they are granted degrees. Compare the length of time it takes to graduate from one group to the other. See for yourself if there is equity in STEM fields. Or for what reasons those from low SES backgrounds aren't able to complete their education (the barriers they face). Perhaps, you prefer to maintain the status quo and could give two shits. Or reading just isn't your thing :p [/qb][/QUOTE]Point is, you can't have a white based anything in this "free" country of ours without being labeled racist. Because whitey isn't a minority, apparently you can't have a white scholarship fund for underprivileged whites...which there plenty of them roaming around...FACT! As far as you claiming all the obstacles and barriers these minorities face, why don't you name some of them? My mom, her sister, and mother and father came here with absolutely nothing and not a word of English. She is white and fled there country when it was being bombed by the Russians. They left in winter in the middle of the night. Through schooling and hard word did she become a citizen, work various jobs and makes enough on Social Security to make it by every month. They left every singled possession behind so she and her family could survive and make something of themselves here. So because she is white, is that the only reason she made it in this country? Privileged whitey living on social security? [/QB][/QUOTE]
