Should You Be Able To Give Burseries Based On Race Or Class?

[youngmafbog]

I think you should, but these days laws may well prevent this as these schools are saying (or are they using that as a convenient excuse?)

Thoughts?

I recall several years ago that the NHS refused to accept a bloke on the organ donor register who wanted to specify that his organs could only be given to white people....surely colleges can do what the NHS did?

If it's poor people selected without filtering due to race or class how would that relate to my response ?

// So what about "Stormzy's" (who?) offer to fund two black students, then? Is that OK?,,

there are three or four articles on this in the Times today

the man from the ministry or regulator who rules our lives so wisely insists that he has always ruled that money grants (scholarship) to minorities are NOT discriminatory
and he blames Winchester and Dulwichs refusal is due to
ignorance, reverse snobbery, victimhood and disinclination to engage equality legislation

Hmmm sounds as tho they can all usefully contribute to Ab den innit?

to be clear - it is lawful to do a poor whites only scholarship

[woofgang]

but although lawful the NHS wouldn't accept organs on a "whites only" basis. I still wonder how it is decided who is white enough or black enough.
