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?
