imo if a private individual wants to give bursaries to a few white kids or a few black kids, it should be accepted. Skin colour shouldn't come into it. It's their money after all.
All this woke and OTT pc crap is going too far (in many other ways too) and its created a backlash - one example is Corbyns Labour attitudes and that of his more devout followers which led to their mega failure in the election and people turning to the Torys. Many in the far left and indeed some in the left are too strident, accusing and narrow minded. It's their way or the highway. It's horrendously off - putting. The far left have created the opposite of their aims and have only themselves to blame. Again, imo. |

Except skin colour does come into it, when you're specifying which colours are worthy of your cash.

You simply can't argue a "Everyone's equal. All in the same boat. Why you going on about skin colour for? It's not relevant" when skin colour is literally the quota the bursary is based on. Literally how you are born. Not any unfortunate circumstances you were unfortunately subjected to but literally what colour your skin is. Quote:

Eh, I don't like the use of "woke". It's in the same range as "SJW" or branding everyone as a nazi.

To refresh your memory, a bursary based on merit is preferred personally, however.. other institutions other than this one may accept the money for specific races or genders. There are bursaries for minorities, yes they exist we can go into the whys and wherefores if you like. I stand by the fact it has no bearing here, as you can't force a school to accept a donation, they are not beholden to accept monies offered for any reason they choose.

fyi I have no problem with Labour per se, I have always supported a terrific Labour party in N.Ireland. I do have a problem with Corbyn (and I've been proved right there), his fanatical devotees and the disgraceful anti - semitism in the party....and of course the strident, overbearing faction of the hard left. Labour and those who want the party to be relevant again need to chose a new leader who isn't Corbyn Mark2, otherwise they won't see power again for a very very long time. |

It's not 'woke' to seek out information for yourself, and to challenge misinformation when you find it. We can't all be expected to parrot media spin or propaganda.

I may be completely off the wall on this, but wouldn't it be nice if students were given the opportunity to obtain funding they may not otherwise have based on academic merit and academic merit alone. I understand this may be a controversial stance to some.

I agree, I don't think any academic funding should be ethnicity specific. It should be based on academic performance and household income. But while some forms of funding are, all ethnicities should have some available.
