Affirmative Action stupidity: White teen gives back scholarship intended for Black students

There is so much wrong with this story that I don't know where to start.
Jeffrey Warren is about to graduate from Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, CA. He applied for a scholarship offered by the Martin Luther King Senior Citizens Club.
He won.
Then he found out the scholarship was intended solely for Black students.
Jeffrey is white.
He gave the scholarship back.
Apparently the application said only that African-Americans were encouraged to apply. But a cover letter, which Jeffrey did not see, explicity specified it was for Black students.
Go ahead, tell me that's not racism.
Because can you imagine the uproar if a Black kid won a scholarship and then found out that only red-headed Armenians were eligible?
Would he give it back? Would Al Sharpton let him give it back?
So get this. Next year the scholarship committee is going to change the application form. To make it more clear that only Blacks need apply. So kids like Jeffrey won't waste their time trying to achieve something on the antiquated notion of merit.
Yeah, the last thing we want is to have the children who attend Martin Luther King High School being judged on the content of their character rather than on the color of their skin.
