A new organization in Texas called the Former Majority Association for Equality (FMAFE) is

offering $500 college scholarships limited to white males only. The group’s web site insists that it is not a white supremacist group, nor does it support any group or individual which promotes racial bigotry or segregation. Rather, it seeks to assist persons who are unable to obtain other scholarship help, due to their race or gender. The group, founded in 2010, has obtained 501©(3) tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, so donations to its scholarship fund are tax-deductible.

What will be an ideal response?
