Really.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Bill Gates has made his scholarship fund off limits to white teenagers. The Gates Millennium Scholarship fund is financed by a $1 Billion endowment Bill Gates made in 1999. The fund explicitly denies eligibility to white students.
“Students are eligible to be considered for a GMS scholarship if they: Are African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian and Pacific Islander American, or Hispanic American;"
Ok. As someone who help kids get scholarships, there are race or ethnic scholarships all over the place.
You can get a scholarship because you are Italian or French, whatever.
Gates could have easily (and I don’t know if he hasn’t) given scholarship to German girls over six feet tall.
My SiL got a scholarship because he 50% Scott and left handed.
Its Gates money.
Can you name one “Whites Only” scholarship?
German can mean any race. Lets see him specify whites only, he would catch hell, and you know it.
My son is half-Asian and his last name is Dutch. I suppose I should send in a picture of him with his application. /sarc
This is understood, but if scholarship recipients are given preference in hiring at Microsoft, then I believe a legal argument can be made that this scholarship racial profiling will be reflected in hiring opportunities, and therefore facilitates racial employment discrimination.
Yes, yes it is.
its Gates Mo-Knee,
But dats why i gonna by a Mac..........
Bottom line is actually, he is a racist. He uses his money to promote racism.
A self-hating racist.
Why didn't I know about that one? I've got a couple of people in my family who would qualify on those grounds.
See #9 for the response svcw will give you. I’ll save you some scroll time. But she wrote it so well.
“Sooooo. It’s his money”.
Yes, SJ, I agree with your comment.
Anyone could advertise (almost free on the internet) their own annual $100 scholarship competition, open only to students who meet their specific criteria.
Imagine the feedback: One hundred dollar scholarship competition, open only to white, heterosexual, conservative, American citizen, homeschooled, etc., whatever else it takes to narrow down the applicants to kids exactly like my own.
Whiteys for Mac and Linux!
So what happens to poor white kids in Billy's world? Are they tossed under the bus just because Billy is a guilty ridden lib-tard?
He was lucky he got the trust fund...not all whites are that lucky.
He must be a fool. Maybe his father is the one who cataputeled his company to number one in the United States. There are so many whites who cannot afford or even be accepted to universities because their parents earn a certain level income, but still in reality not enough to enroll them in colleges that charge the unrealistic fees the universities are charging them today. This very rich man, with no contact with the realities of life, is helping to keep America under par with the rest of the world. Please, America, stop idolizing someone just because he has achieved success in some particular field and become so wealthy in the process. Brilliant and creative Americans are being overlooked because of these softhearted, bleeding hearts, who have achieved prominence for their achievements in one particular field, and feel they should be more benevolent to society. Someone once said, “charity begins at home”. To some extent this may be true.
American Americans need not apply.
Really.
