Last year, a black British rap star named Stormzy established a scholarship fund at Cambridge University exclusively for black students. He felt the need to explain that his motives were pro-black and not anti-white.

However, two elite British schools—Winchester College and Dulwich College—have decided not to accept a total of 1.2 million pounds in scholarships targeted for low-income white boys offered by a 96-year-old philanthropist named Sir Bryan Thwaites.

He argued that since poverty-stricken British white boys tend to perform worse at school than boys from other backgrounds, the scholarship was designed to help the disadvantaged. Boys in the British school system score an average of seven points lower than girls in math and English at grade 5. Only about a third of poor white students of both sexes score passing grades in math and English.

After both schools rejected the scholarship offer, Sir Bryan said:

If Cambridge University can accept a much larger donation in support of black students, why cannot I do the same for underprivileged white British? Winchester said it would harm its reputation by accepting my bequest, but in my opinion it would gain enormously by being seen to address what is the severe national problem of the underperforming white cohort in schools.

Please remember that race is only a social construct—unless white people are being ordered to pay reparations or are being denied rewards. In those cases, everyone can identify a white person in under a minute.
