There are tons of scholarship programs geared to white students ONLY, most magazines are white ONLY, most tv networks are predominately white ONLY, most contestants in beauty pageants are white ONLY, right? Is that what you said?? And before the 1980s, there were no black magazines nor black networks. You seem to forget 'Ebony', survived the original. 'Life Magazine'... /Taro

There are tons of scholarship programs geared to white students I can't believe there are ANY scholarship programs with restrictions to white students now. There were once, but not now. Rice University was established long ago with a charter specifying it was to educate white students. A restriction dropped long ago. , most magazines are white, most tv networks are predominately white, most contestants in beauty pageants are white. Most mass market things like that are majority "white" because and to the extent that the population is majority "white". Certainly nonwhites aren't restricted from any media. And before the 1980s, there were no black magazines nor black networks. There were black magazines, black movies, etc. "The Unite Negro Fund, Jet magazine etc were started" TO PROVIDE "alternatives for blacks in a segregated age." Which isn't to say they need to be dropped. People have differnet tastes and preferences, there are micro-markets for lots of things.
