Breitbart editor starts scholarship for just white men

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/02/politics/milo-yiannopoulos-white-men-scholarship-trnd/

Breitbart editor and occasional person you see on TV, Milo Yiannopoulos, has officially opened up a college scholarship exclusively for young white men.

According to the scholarship's website, The Privilege Grant "is available exclusively to white men" who want to pursue college "on equal footing with their female, queer and ethnic minority classmates."

Applications for the grant opened on January 31st, and each grant is in the amount of $2,500.

The grant has been in the works since January 2016. Some early literature about the scholarship described it as for "straight white American men," although the updated site doesn't seem to mention anything about sexuality. (Yiannopoulos is gay, but has long voiced an opposition for LGBT rights. In 2014, he penned an article for Brietbart entitled "I'm sooo Bored of Being Gay" in which he claims he chose to be gay and benefits from his identity more than straight men. )

He'll stay in the limelight until everyone gets tired of him. Then he'll be left to begging for attention with increasingly outrageous statements.

It's all about the attention and speaker fees.
