This is an absolutely true story.
Years ago, I was enrolled at Roosevelt University in Chicago. One day, I decided to go to the grant and scholarship office to see if there were anything available that I could apply for.
The woman that worked there, 350 lbs if she was an ounce, said in a very loud voice, "Do you know what your problem is? You are too young, too old, too single, too male, too white and you make too------- much------- money." And then she burst out guffawing along with two other enormous women that worked in the same office. I just turned and walked away. I considered filing a complaint, but decided it was "too much effort".
That was too funny.....not.
I was told in a round about way that I couldn't get a scholarship because I wasn't the right race. [Black or member of a Native American tribe]
That's one of a few nice ways of avoiding telling someone they don't mentally qualify. The ironic part is that is often proven by repeating it.
Yeah...well fuck you too.
