Tell that to the cis-white-male who was raised on a trailer park by a single mom when you explain to him why he doesn't get a scholarship though. Not everyone who's white or male is in a position of relative privilege. Affirmative action can create new forms of injustices as well. Somehow nowadays we think that deciding who gets what on the basis of sex and skin color is A-OK, because we're doing it right, we're doing it for the greater good... What could possibly go wrong?

Im pretty sure a cis white male can get a scholarship if coming from a poor background. This link for examplw comes first when doing a quick google search, and everyone on their promo picture is white: http://www.collegescholarships.org/scholarships/low-income.h...

In the UK white working class males (who received free school meals - an indicator of poverty) are the least likely group to go to university.
