This statement would still be true if all races received scholarships equally (in the US). In fact, it could still be true even if whites received scholarships at lower rates than all other races (i.e, if whites were selected against). It's important to consider population size, if you're unaware.

Of course? It'd be shockingly racist against whites if it wasn't, given that whites are the largest single demographic. Do you see what I'm saying? It's the rate of scholarship that matters here, the magnitude is a useless metric.
I guess I should ask, what's your point? Reading the post you replied to now, I see the guy 'whites can't get scholarhips' which is obviously false.

So, it looks like you figured out my point....
People who enjoy privilege often can't distinguish between elimination/reduction of privilege and discrimination. It used to be "affirmative action is discrimination against white people." Obviously, this isn't true, but it's human to get used to privilege and feel punished when it's taken away. Today, it's more about the "war on the white male." It's the same misguided expression of fear and frustration because privilege is being eroded.
Luckily, there's still plenty of white privilege and male privilege around, so I think we'll be okay for the foreseeable future.

For years elite universities have been figuring out ways to give less scholarships to Asians and more to whites. Playing on a sports team, even intramural sports is worth so many SAT points in the formula. There is nothing keeping Asians from playing intramurals, except their propensity for studying.
I know. That was racist.
