“Lgbt scholarships could go to cishet aces!!” You know some lgbt scholarships are open to cishet allies right?
also there are ways to remedy this (if it’s literally ever happened) without kicking ace people out of the community. Like literally you can make a scholarship only available to a certain group without doing any of the nasty shit exclusionists are currently doing.
ALSO plenty of scholarships go either unused completely OR get taken by someone who isn’t even remotely “qualified” for it. Had like a spokesperson come to one of my classes once and a dude applied for a women’s only scholarship and got all 10 slots cause he was the only person to even apply (also he applied by accident, he was just applying to any he got in his emails from some scholarship application website). Tbh I’d rather someone “unqualified” get a scholarship than no one get it at all
working class person: I’m forced to beg for money and am at the mercy of other people’s goodwill as I’m facing serious suffering and/or death because my wages don’t cover the expenses I need to literally stay alive
friends of working class person: we will scrape together some of our own funds at the possible detriment of our own families because we have no other choice if we don’t want our friend to, and we can’t believe we have to say this out loud, die
media: This Uplifting Story of Friendship Will Brighten Your Day :)) Look As These Brave People Go On Happy With Their Lives Despite Hardship :)) This Story Proves That Poor People Who Complain About Their Standards Of Living Are Just Not Trying Hard Enough :)))
And I would also add: Anyone who says “There’s no such thing as ‘Luck’!” is absolutely denying their own privilege (which is the luck they happened to be born into).
“They make believing sexual assault allegations seem like just another partisan activity in our hideously polarised public sphere. Until sexual assault becomes something that someone’s base – be it Juve fans, be it Republicans – believes their own side capable of, we really haven’t inched meaningfully along this road at all. Not through want of trying, you understand. But until people stop placing team loyalty over everything, sexual assault will continue to be treated about as seriously as diving in the penalty box. Which is to say, only a big deal when your opponents do it.”
