When the MSM runs misleading headlines and stories, FReepers are the first to jump on it. Your headline is as misleading as anything in the NYT/WaPo/Time/Newsweek, or any other leftwing rag. It’s more like the Globe. It says ‘Bill Gates Scholarship,’ not ‘Gates Millenium Scholarship.’ The latter would be an accurate headline.
Insisting on accuracy is not nit-picking. Words mean things. It is not true that whites are excluded from the more famous and far more prestigious, at least among scholars, Gates Cambridge Scholarship.
While you posted the restrictions for applicants, you did NOT mention that the Gates Millennium scholarship is administered by the United Negro College Fund which works in conjunction with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, American Indian Graduate Center Scholars, and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund. That information would certainly put the restrictions on applicants in its proper context.
It is increasingly clear that you framed the headline and snippet on restrictions exactly that way precisely to provoke prejudices. And you’ve done a good job of it.
Neither my children nor your children nor any other white child is deprived of a damned thing because of this scholarship fund. Not a damned thing.

Those are not whites only scholarships. Jews can be black
Plus the ethnic scholarships you mention are mostly small and supplemental. I’ll bet the Bill Gates scholarships are extremely generous and/or a full free ride
Why should some Asian kid whose family just got here get preferred over a white kid whose family has been here 50, 100, 200 years? This is racist BS
.......its aas if Im talking to a child.
Not a single one of those was a “Whites only” Scholarship fund....not one.
Again, for the life of me, I cant understand why you would advocate such a double standard that works against your own children.
