It isn't racism if they are basing it on which country you are from, not the colour of your skin :facepalm:

hahahahahahahah.

Good thing you are not a lawyer.

Just imagine that defense in Court.*

My client isn't racist because there is clearly more than one ethnic group in Africa*

I don't think you understand what racism actually is, let me help you

From the Oxford dictionary

Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:a programme to combat racism

Italy, Romania and Malta are clearly not European enough to meet the OP's demands.

and mine was from England? So what?

If it isn't racist, then you could use that defense in court.

Except you cannot because it is obviously racist. *

This isn't a discussion about law though, this is a discussion about politics and current events. The sub forum it's posted in should give you a clue about that :smile:

Most dictionaries define 'racism' as an antagonistic attitude torwards a different racial group based on race, not which country they are from. Ignoring the fact that the OP is blatantly wrong, most natives of european countries are white and most university staff are white. Therefore there is no racism going on here even from a purely hypothetical point of view.

Lol. A discussion about Politics and current events that does not include law....

We are talking about a specific scholarship scheme that would be subject to discrimination law and we can't magically talk about law.

It isn't my issue if it doesn't fit into your racist narrative.*

I'm bored already

Do you know how many people applied from the EU? No. It is perfectly possible that all those who applied from the EU got their scholarship. Alternatively, and perhaps more likely, these scholarships were awarded on the basis of a little thing called merit. Stop being an idiot and find some real inequality and discrimination to go on about if you must.
