Not negating anything that anyone has gone through, but my friend was not able to apply to a scholarship for children of blind parents bc she wasn’t African American or Asian. Idk why it tailored to those two ethnicities but just wanted to throw out the one case I know of. For every one of those there’s thousands of African Americans or even Native American, or even Mexicans turned away
I mean yea scholarships are hard to get, even for me as a black person bc I’m not poor and I don’t have a 4.0 gpa, but there’s something she qualifies for without a doubt! A lot of charitable organizations award their own volunteers, creative orgs award creatives, maybe she’s better off trying to find something in her niche and interests instead of her hardship specifically
Some people will do anything to justify their bigotry. I think there’s a lot of people who are allies because they have an LGBTQ+ friend or family member but don’t have any POC friends or family members. Then there’s LGBTQ+ people who just don’t care about/don’t like other minorities.
