You really aren't informed on this topic are you? Have you not seen the discussion about transsexuals and grants given to a specific gender. Sometimes, gender has nothing to do with genitalia, and sometimes it do. It depend, and has been discussed several times in the past.

> little bit racist

You seems a bit out of your depth here. What are you talking about?

Do you have a problem that grants to students are given on the specifics of someone being of the racial and ethnic minority called African American, and is male? Are you a racist? (and feel free to speculate if a answer "yes", or an answer "no" to the first question qualify as an yes or no to the second. Personally, I don't think the first question has anything to do with the second, but it does makes you look a bit petty and a little bit racist to be honest.

No, that's not how it works. Again: Read up before commenting on a topic you're not familiar with. Having a penis does not guarantee a person is a man, and having a vagina does not guarantee a person is a woman. This is pretty basic stuff to understand. I'm not sure why you're having trouble.

No. Your comment implied you had the problem, as though because they give it to black men, it somehow detracts from the fact they're giving it to men — like it doesn't count.

You seem very ignorant of all the troubles transsexual persons sometimes get. If everyone agreed that gender != genitalia, yes, it would be a nice world. Sadly, it isn't like that everyone. Being ignorant of this problem isn't good, and i don't know why you are having trouble to understand this.

Strange, your comment seems to strongly implied you had such problem.

> as though because they give it to black men, it somehow detracts from the fact they're giving it to men — like it doesn't count.

No.
