>assisting those who have historically held the biggest educational advantages

History is just that: history. A white male going to uni _right now_ hasn't really enjoyed those historical advantages; they were before their time.

Yes there are other advantages in the modern world to being a white male, but there are also equivalent disadvantages, too. Easier to get power...but if you're male nobody is there to defend you or help you. Help yourself, defend yourself _and_ others, be the breadwinner (otherwise you're useless) "man up".
