Pretty much....its a choice to respond.

:love: :wavey:

I don't get it? Why does being a minority mean they deserve more funding?

Because in the past it was all about the white man...now it's time to level things up for the black man....whilst ignoring the white folks who also need help because of things that happened long before they were born into the poverty they were born into....we must whilst doing this remember that it's all about having a level playing field in this day and age..

Yet you bothered to respond, instead of ignoring. :joker:

Corbyn :) Jeremy Corbyn.

The past is completely irrelevant. Kids today have nothing to do with the past, and underprivileged white kids are obviously not better off than BAME kids in the same circumstances. The only way to make it a level playing field is for everyone to be able to get the same levels of help.

is it one particular minority that gets sole funding?

That's my exact point, white kids today have absolutely nothing to do with thier forefathers pasts, yet they seem to be the ones suffering in some circumstances.

There are all kinds of bursaries and scholarships available only to black and Asian applicants. I refuse to see why anyone would have a problem with a bursary or scholarship aimed just at poor white kids.

Bringing up Corbyn in every thread to derail it is against the rules I think you'll find.

Poor white people. :(

I don't do it to derail a thread and I far from post in every thread, in fact, I'm not a regular poster at all. I bring it up as part of a point I am making. If people find it a problem, don't respond, no skin off my nose. :shrug:

It’s okay their white skin will be enough to tide them over in life, no need for any other input

Yes. You were making an on topic point.

:umm2:

Who suggested this?

Poor anyone who's not only disadvantaged, but also gets denied financial help due to their ethnicity. Racism isn't nice no matter who's on the receiving end.

They're not being denied funding.

Rejecting a "whites only" bursary from one donor =/= blocking funding for white kids. They have plenty of support.

It's so far from racism. Your use of the word is out of touch and ignorant.

How do they have plenty of support when there a numerous BAME only scholarships but very few available to white pupils? How is rejecting one for white kids not racism?

You said they are being denied support. That is false.

How is rejecting a whites only policy not racism? Well, because "whites only" as a policy is inherently racist.

One supporting ethnic minorities is not comparable.

It would be like asking why any support for the working class is not matched and equal with support for the middle class. Because they are not the same.

Working class white and BAME kids are the same though. Neither inherently has an advantage over the other in society.

I don't know cherie, maybe that's something you could look into?

Those posts were replies to digs about my posting about Corbyn...(you left out the quotes which prompted those replies of course) - I guess I'm supposed to keep silent but others can carry it on...
like you are now, so on topic. And I suppose you missed my initial post which included Corbyn as part of making a point.
Do you get things so wrong often?

Im just surprised that the schools are getting criticism for refusing to discriminate... :/

I don't need to, I'm not denying funding to one group over another like you are advocating kizzy
