How come it's ok to have a racist scholarship targeted only to people with krooked eyes or darker skin, but if you tried to offer some other product such as a car or a sandwich that was only available to a certain race, people would freak out and think you're the new leader of the KKK? Who knows - at least the Patrick Kerr Skateboard Scholarship Award Recipients are not all orientals, at least from my racial profiling of the names. That doesn't always work, though. My name (Rob) doesn't give away my race. Actually, my parents had named me "Lob," but since orientals can't pronounce the letter "L" (example: kickfrip), I ended up with the name "Rob." Yep, Buddha or whoever is going to kill me. I'll see you in oriental hell.
