Checking for similar grants such as the one by google, I found (http://www.ehow.com/info_8641285_grants-male-teachers.html).

It was interesting that none of the grants are "if you are male, thats it. Here is a bunch of money". It is either for teacher that are willing to cater to students from low-income families, or African American male teachers.

I guess Google could add a condition to their grant, in which only female students willing to cater to <unwanted area of the tech industry>, or alternative to people of <ethnic minority> + female status.

Is there any grants that gives men money just for the fact that they have male genitalia and are willing to enroll in education?

Google's grant doesn't give women a whole bunch of money solely on the basis of being a woman. They have to first qualify for Hacker School, and then they have to qualify for financial aid. Once they do all that, they get some money to help cover expenses while attending the school.

> or African American male teachers.

So then, what's the problem? They're still men, which is apparently the defining factor. That comment doesn't really help your case here; it just makes you look petty and a little bit racist.

Gender has nothing to do with genitalia. You really aren't informed on this topic, are you?

You really aren't informed on this topic are you? Have you not seen the discussion about transsexuals and grants given to a specific gender. Sometimes, gender has nothing to do with genitalia, and sometimes it do. It depend, and has been discussed several times in the past.

> little bit racist

You seems a bit out of your depth here. What are you talking about?

Do you have a problem that grants to students are given on the specifics of someone being of the racial and ethnic minority called African American, and is male? Are you a racist? (and feel free to speculate if a answer "yes", or an answer "no" to the first question qualify as an yes or no to the second. Personally, I don't think the first question has anything to do with the second, but it does makes you look a bit petty and a little bit racist to be honest.

> Sometimes, gender has nothing to do with genitalia, and sometimes it do.

No, that's not how it works. Again: Read up before commenting on a topic you're not familiar with. Having a penis does not guarantee a person is a man, and having a vagina does not guarantee a person is a woman. This is pretty basic stuff to understand. I'm not sure why you're having trouble.

> Do you have a problem that grants to students are given on the specifics of someone being of the racial and ethnic minority called African American, and is male?

No. Your comment implied you had the problem, as though because they give it to black men, it somehow detracts from the fact they're giving it to men — like it doesn't count.

You seem very ignorant of all the troubles transsexual persons sometimes get. If everyone agreed that gender != genitalia, yes, it would be a nice world. Sadly, it isn't like that everyone. Being ignorant of this problem isn't good, and i don't know why you are having trouble to understand this.

> Do you have a problem that grants to students are given on the specifics of someone being of the racial and ethnic minority called African American, and is male? > No

Strange, your comment seems to strongly implied you had such problem.

> as though because they give it to black men, it somehow detracts from the fact they're giving it to men — like it doesn't count.

No.

I have read that because teaching funding is usually from the government, "legal reasons" mean there are not many sex specific funds. Perhaps we need to find a private source of funds - bill gates puts a bunch of cash into educational stuff, he might be interested.
