A white and a black are applying for a scholarship. They are completely identical in their applications, sports, leadership, you name it. The only difference is race.

Actually, I think you missed the point. Or are deliberatley ignoring it.
[quote]And lumping all people with pale skin into WHITE isn't? [/qoute]
Quote:
Lumping people into categories such as 'asian' is insulting to those who would rather be associated with their ethnicity. It completely steamrolls over the sweeping cultural differences amongst asians -- i.e. Vietnamese versus Japanese. It's a peculiarly American tendency to look at everyone who is not European in origin as "the others".
For instance, the stereotype that all asians are smart violin players who are proficient in math, but have poor social skills. It's bunk, because many Vietnamese, Cambodians, etc. are struggling in schools.

On the issue of lumping....you seem to think it is perfectly fine to call all French, Canadian, English, German, Spanish, Russian etc white. While using the term Asian is insulting. What if white people want to be proud of their ethnicity. It is just as diverse as asian ethnicity.
Hypocricy at it's finest.
