Boston U Republicans Offer “Whites Only” Scholarship
24 Nov 2006
Most people know that $250 won’t you that far in any college or univeristy these days, but the amount offered by the College Republican’s of Boston Univeristy vie their Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship isn’t really the point.
The application itself offers an explanation: “We believe that racial preferences in all their forms are perhaps the worst form of bigotry confronting America today.”According to Joe Mroszczyk, president of the College Republicans, his group is offering the scholarship to point out “how ridiculous it is to have any sort of racially based scholarship.”
Of course this hardly addresses the real issue behind affirmative action, the disadvantage that people of color and women have from jump because they are people of color and women, combined with poorer quality educational resources available to people of color. But we all know racism and sexism aren’t that serious anymore, right?

Let’s see if this makes sense- the BU College Republicans are offering the scholarship to point out “how ridiculous it is to have any sort of racially based scholarship.” But if they are pointing out how silly it is to have that sort of scholarship then they are encouraging that which they are campaigning against. Thus, the group is protesting themselves. Right?
Stay classy, gentlemen.
