Thanks to affermative-action programs and similar, the admissions and
scholorship awarding process often involve race being one point of
criteria.  So, the tongue-in-cheek comment above was made based on
that relationship.  Perhaps it was intended to illustrate the folly of
selecting recipients based on any non-academic qualifications, such as
income, race, or anything else.  Or perhaps it was just a joke slid in
there at the end of an off-topic message, which inadvertently hit
someone's hot button.

The world may never know.
