Law Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship - Only Hetero White Males Need Not Apply

[DGUtley]

I got an email today asking for donations to a scholarship program. It read: the “program is open to the following incoming second and third year law students who are enrolled in an Ohio law school or are a permanent Ohio resident: Minority law students; LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning) law students, regardless of race or ethnicity; Female law students, regardless of race or ethnicity; or, Law students from economically impoverished families/backgrounds, regardless of race or ethnicity.”

Couldn’t the organization have just worded it more succinctly: “the program is open to anyone but heterosexual middle-class white males”?

Is that even legal?

[DGUtley]

Heterosexual white middle class males are not a protected class.

Why should they be?

Why should they be?

Did I say they should be?

Wouldn't want the protection. As Reagan said, The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

Did I say they should be?

You used trigger words.

Perhaps I read something between the heavily bolded lines that you didn't intend.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

Why, then, did you post this?

[alexa]

You used trigger words.

And here you are.
