In cases like that it isnt "Black vs white" its "Minorities" vs whites because they get more credits, and essentially more slack.
There are under privilege white people who can get these things you know... Generally scholarships that are for poor people are for POOR PEOPLE, it's not exclusive by race, yes there are race based scholarships but the ones based on monetary standings aren't generally limited to race.
Even if you were right about them becoming what you consider to be minorities you're argument still fails because it's not a matter of population density it's a matter of history. Up to like the 1950's there was little to no opportunities for anyone other then a white man to gain any "real" success, so in all honesty these scholarships are trying to let other races catch up to the overwhelming "head start" that white people have had in America. Now before you say it, yes, not EVERY white person has this "head start" which is why in my original post I said these things should be based on economic standings only because most children can't be held for the finical stability of their parents and older ancestors.
