Well I think it's about time. People always seem to get up in arms about things like that, but they have all sorts of programs and scholarships for most others, it's only fair that all are allowed to have programs like that, or none. To me it's all or nothing. There are LOTS of poor white students and families who need programs as much as any others. I always found that rather idiotic that people get so upset about a white person doing it, but it's fine for others to do it, and they have no problem with that. I find thier reasoning quite plausible and I find a progam like that no different than the United Negro College Fund or National Hispanic Recognition Scholarship, so there is no reason not to have one if that's what they choose to do.
I also find it rather silly, on the whole, to offer scholarships or assistance based on race, it should be based on need and/or the performance of the individual, not what color they are or aren't.
