University deletes race requirement for fellowship program - Had required participants to be 'black, indigenous, people of color'
2022-12-22
[WND] A University of North Carolina (UNC) nutrition fellowship program scrubbed criteria that made the fellowship exclusive to black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students after a civil rights complaint was filed alleging the program violated federal anti-discrimination laws, the program’s website reveals.

UNC’s Fellowship for Exploring Research in Nutrition originally claimed students must be a "Racial/ethnic background of [BIPOC] that is historically marginalized in academia and the field of nutrition in the United States" to be considered, according to a Dec. 19 snapshot of the website. However, the current website appears to have removed the criteria from the list.

The fellowship also updated its mission by claiming that it seeks to "enhance" rather than "increase" diversity in the nutrition field. The revised mission clarifies that the fellowship is open to all undergraduate students and includes "those from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related research."

"Obesity disproportionately impacts Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and other historically marginalized communities; yet people from these communities are traditionally underrepresented among researchers working to develop, research, and evaluate food and nutrition policies to address obesity," the website reads. "Increased representation in food policy research is critical for developing effective, equitable, comprehensive, and culturally competent policies that address nutrition-related health disparities."

Do No Harm Senior Fellow Mark Perry filed his Dec. 19 complaint with the United States Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on the basis that UNC’s program discriminated against non-BIPOC students. He claimed that the eligibility standard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race-based discrimination.

#12  Given, the Crow in Jim Crow is used because it refers to a Black colored bird.

When we see reverse discrimination clearly aimed at innocent Whites, shouldn'twe use our own mocker?

Like Joe Snow or something.

To point of the Lefts open discriminatory tactics, which are just as bad and racist?

#11  Deleting the written bias against white men will not change the actual selection decisions, it just removes the obvious for remediation. Think anything will change? Reverse racism is the new Jim Crow game.

#5  I'll never forget. In 1980 I applied for a job with the Cobb County FD. The chief stood up and walked over to me, he put his hand on my shoulder and guided me to the door. He said, and I'll never forget, "Son, if you were a woman, a black or better yet a black woman I'd hire you, but you're not".

#3  Attention LSD's .
The Race Card has expired.
The days of racial atonement are long over

We are now 56 years, almost 3 generations past Jim Crow laws and any official discrimination.

The 56 years of the LSD State /Federal $$$$ dumps and cuddled treatment clearly is not working. It is only promoting and perpetuating the issues that existed 60+ years ago, just using a different process and methods to control Black Americans.

Simple rule in life.
Man up, own up, and learn to live with the choices you made in life. Because the path you chose in life is what you reap from it.

#1  The UNC gobbldygook: "At the Gillings School, diversity and inclusion mean we welcome, value and learn from individual differences and perspectives. By cultivating inclusion within the School, we better prepare our students, faculty and staff for the diverse world that awaits them. A globally-interconnected world needs culturally competent people to serve as its leaders. Diversity and inclusion are assets that contribute to our excellence."
