Actually, Charlatan, Canadians have the near equivilant of Affirmative Action with the Aboriginal populations - on all applications there will be the 'check off here if you're an aboriginal' - meaning that, in terms of university, you have a higher chance of getting in, and because of Aboriginal status, you don't pay to go to university.
On the topic of the thread, I think it's a step backwards - and a good one too. If this scholorship isn't unjustly shot down, it will be a slightly more equal society, allowing for colour scholarships for Any color, not just non-white.
