Scholarship application help-racial question

[Spider-Bite]

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?

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

I don't understand how Affirmative Action fits into this

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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]

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

Cornucopia.

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

Yeah I know. I can't believe it.

Edit. I must say, that even though I'm an atheist, I dont' think being an atheist should effect a person's chances of getting a scholarship. I only support AA for the purpose of integrating groups that need help integrating into society so that different groups mingle together better, and I dont' think Atheists are hated enough, and we don't have segregated neighborhoods either.

eh, I think you might be better off just leaving the religious denomination section blank.
