" If you engage in behavior that the other "side" sees as racist, but only when you do it to certain races, I think it becomes a valid and effective way to make someone confront a central issue that maybe has been slipped aside in public debate.

In your rush to disagree with me before, you missed my point.
I'm fine with their making the statement and challenging the administration on race bias with this scholarship. It even makes me chuckle a bit -- OK, I get their point.
However, this is just a wonderful way to lose an election. It ranks right up their with raising gay marriage as an issue during a presidential race. There are some things that would be best done after the election is over.
