Underrepresented does not necessarily mean poor or disadvantaged.  It's also to try and even out the race ratios within a school/community.  Again, getting scholarships because of race.  That to me seems to be borderline racism.


There is no race ratio. That has been outlawed. A school or business does not have to maintain a percentage of minorities. Rather, minorities often have qualified individuals without the means to pay for education.

Scholarships started as a way to get minorities out of prisons/off the streets and into. universities. They are not something awarded to everyone, although in modern times, there have been scholarships created for more groups (like sports).

In other words, it's not about getting 50% of a school's population to be a minority. It's about. making sure the numbers of qualified minorities are proportionate to the majority of the population.

That is a completely incorrect statement.  Europe was in the dark ages until it learned modern science and medicine of the Middle East, who happen to be going through their dark ages now.

Ethnocentrism at its finest.


Even if we want to characterize Arabs as separate from Caucasians (which I don't agree with), the foundation of Western civilization lies in Roman and Greek thought, which was reacquired from monasteries and from contact with Islam. For the last few hundred years the Caucasian race has been responsible for almost every single major achievement and all major breakthroughs in technology and society.

Pretty sure white people will figure out a way to make people feel shitty about themselves even if we are a minority. It's what we do.

Are we talking about white people or Caucasians?

I don't see Caucasians being a minority any time soon.

I don't see any reason why we should care if white people become a minority.

Ahh, of course. I should have been clearer. I meant good reasons ;)
