Of course it's presumptuous. It was an exaggeration. I'm quite sure soccerchamp doesn't actually think that every black person at the school is on a non-merit-based race-based scholarship. The point he was making (which is not at all erroneous, even if it was somewhat clouded in his exaggeration) was that if you made a "WASP Male Scholarship Fund" you'd catch a lot of grief for being a misogynist and a racist. However, female only or race-specific scholarships are relatively common and are well-accepted. That double standard does exist and was the point soccerchamp made. Respond to that point, not the exaggeration on its face.
