Wise "A Particularly Cheap White Wine"

This reading really made it clear that there are many issues facing academic awards based on race. I found the statements by the BU professor to be very ignorant and borderline bigotry. Seeing as such a small percentage of awards are actually based on race, it is almost silly that the BU professor would argue about it. If you look at all the inequality in the school system and the lack of support these low income minorities face, we should be doing everything we can to get these kids into college. Some persons may  look at society and ask "Why cant this race get themselves out of poverty?" well it has a lot to do with the disadvantages they face, and one way to help them is to give them awards so they can elevate them self and get an education. If we want to make this country and equal opportunity country, we must help those less fortunate become educated.
