Scholarship application help-racial question

Spider-Bite · 05-28-2007, 09:53 PM

I'm filling out this form right, and I have put my national heritage. Your allowed to pick up to five. This is for Affirmative Action type stuff.

One problem.

I'm

Irish
French
Canadian French
Some kind of Indian
German
English
Dutch
Welch
Italian

Which five do you think I should choose to put on there?

SSHH doesn't filter out Klingon swear words. Not that I even know what it means.

It could make the difference between getting a scholarship and not getting one.

I don't understand how Affirmative Action fits into this

they have to give so many scholarships out for certain national heritages. I just don't know which of those get the most help if any. I'm not black, chinese, or mexican.

Yeah that 99% pretty much all falls underneath "Cracker".

I really don't think they break it down by Country.

They are all on the list to check from and the help button says this.

You don't list my heritage and/or nationality. Why not?
If you can't find a specific choice listed in one of the profile steps, it means that FastWeb does not currently have any scholarships associated with that item. However, new scholarships are added and updated daily. If your heritage is not listed, we would recommend checking back at a later time to see if it has been added.

At least in the states, I think the races they would look favorably on would be some sort of black, hispanic, american indian. White is usually the majority in most schools, and I think a while back they stopped looking at Asians because they got good grades.

Every single Asian I've ever met or even heard of is either a successful marital arts instructor or movie star, a business man, a doctor, or an engineer working at NASA.

I wish I was Chinese sometimes.

Exactly. That would fall under CAUCASIAN. And maybe put a check on Native American as well if he chooses to.

thanks for the suggestion. I put those, for now, except the Indian, because it actually has specific Indian heritages, and I dont' know which one, so I picked Welsh instead of that.

It's not like they can prove it.

This is a great example of how ridiculous political correctness is in this country.
You should check 'other' and instead of writing in another race, write a comment about how insulted you are that they could consider your racial background in how worthy you were for their scholarship.

Erzengel · 05-28-2007, 10:14 PM

Well let's just say that most Asians have to rely more than just being a minority to make it into most colleges nowadays.

LOL!
I thought you put horny o'plenty at first.

Mr. Wooden Alligator · 05-28-2007, 11:02 PM

Here's what I'd do: Write down all of those choices on stick-it notes(or another type of small form of paper), and stick them to a wall. Get some darts. Whichever of the choices are hit with the darts, I'd stick with those.

But since you've chosen...good luck on that scholarship.

Ha! I think I found my minority status on the next page. Atheist! Man I love being an Atheist!
