Me saying what I am about to say may seem racist or discrimitive, which is not my intentions at all. I am just telling it how it really is and how it should be. One of my best friends from Dallas is hispanic and he was telling me about how he was a National Hispanic Merit Scholar. I started to look into this because I found it amusing that there was a group a merit scholars that were strictly latino. Colleges give scholarships to minorities just for being exactly that a minority. I mean is it really Constitutional to have these groups for only a certain race? If a group of white people got together and made a strictly white group and didn't allow african americans or latinos in it would be considered extremely racist and that group would be disbanded. Is it not in the Constitution that all people are created equal, therefore must be treated the same. Why should people of a certain race recieve a scholarship based on nothing but race? Its absolutely baffling to me. Minorities who were in search of equality yearned for fair treatment, they have fair treatment. Race should not be a factor in any decision, regardless of the category. It is simply wrong to have segregated groups like this in a country derived equality.
