Some people get more undeserved opportunities than a Native American applying for college, amirite?

Such as white people.
(Seriously, how can a racist post like this get so many YYAs?)

It doesn't count as racism if it's true.

Even assuming that's correct (it isn't), this isn't true.

Native Americans are favored because they get way less opportunities in basically every other aspect of life. Most live on reservations with no stable source of income; the government it supposed to help, but instead they're forced to live with the bare minimum. The majority don't even have cars. There's even a recent issue with rapes; 1 in 3 native women are sexually assaulted and the government funded clinics that are supposed to provide emergency contraception to rape victims is actually facing accusations of refusing natives treatment. Plus the fact that settlers took their land, and murdered their families is probably a sore subject.. NATIVE AMERICANS (not 'Indians') are still feeling the affects of the abuse their ancestors felt. They deal with ridicule and open mockery of their culture, poverty, and abuse. The only chance many have for a good life is getting a higher education which they obviously can't afford. I think the least America can do is give them some scholarships, yeah?

Another thing is no one really talks or does anything about their problems. Mainstream media pretty much ignores them.

Hey racists: the native americans ARE STILL being persecuted. My tribe (Pascua-Yaqui) extends from Arizona down into Mexico, where the fields many of them have to work in have government sponsored planes fly over and spray concentrated amounts of pesticides on the people to poison them. Also, it's speculated that the death toll from persecuting native Americans is higher that the death toll of the holocaust. Please educate yourself before you try to justify your racism with "it's not racist if its true", thanks.
