I have done nothing to deserve being screwed over repeatedly for decades simply because I am white and native born.

I’m not a “victim.”

I have been screwed.

What does he not understand?

2. However, I do not applaud the fact that whites have adopted the same VICTIMOLOGY mentality as blacks have. There may have been some excuse for this 50 years ago. Sadly, this combination of ethnic pie-dividing and victimology is increasing when it should be disappearing. [See comment in the main post.]

3. Roger C.’s point on tax exemption is of limited validity. It assumes that it is valid for the government to regulate all behavior via a tax code. In fact, last year, I got to shelter some taxable money for childcare, which went ONLY to Chinese-born Jewish girls – specifically, my daughter. Americans should not subsidize bigotry but the tax code should not be some iron rod in which to regulate human behavior either.

4. Similar comments for Bob Sanchez. And yes, it has some impact on INTERSTATE COMMERCE and the usual excuse for government to control everything. But Bob has an interesting point – if a public university allows ONLY black scholarship recipients and not white scholarship recipients, that could bring up a 14th Amendment issue on governmental discrimination.

And it is his money to do with as he wishes – but I am sure he takes tax deductions and so there needs to be some fairness as to how it should be spent.

Which means it falls under government oversight.

Now, if he wants to pay someone’s university tuition out of his own pocket, more power to him.

Even if public money wasn’t being spent, all of us know what would happen if somebody set up a whites-only fund.

Another interesting event is the Intel Science talent 40 finalists – 3 groups: Jews, Indians, and Orientals dominating the pack. See

Today, our lab heard an invited talk by a former Pentagon bureaucrat on how South Korea graduates as many B.S. Engineers as America and how Americans loathe studying science and engineering – well, DUHHH! A 25-year-old lawyer can start out with a salary higher than the head of Naval Research Lab. A 30-year-old derivative hustler at Goldman Sachs can out earn an entire branch. A smart biology Ph.D. might become a principal investigator at age 50 (at that same age, you could be drawing a full pension as a retired cop). We have become a nation where a few million Latinos do the grunt work that can’t be outsourced – and most of the rest of the country either collects welfare, collects taxes, prints/manipulates money, or arrests/sues each other.

If it is a discriminatory fellowship, then the Justice Department Civil Rights Division needs to be contacted.

And then a boycott by Caucasians of all Microsoft products should be pursued.

I thought that debunking the rumors would be easy, but the more I looked the more I realized that is exactly what the Gates scholarship does.

I wrote that article to debunk myself!

So far this is the best title I have heard: “Bill Gates scholarship excludes people of pallor”.

Wish I would have thought that one up!
