Politics of Charity

This is just wrong:

The Carleton University Students' Association has voted to drop a cystic fibrosis charity as the beneficiary of its annual Shinearama fundraiser, supporting a motion that argued the disease is not "inclusive" enough.
Cystic fibrosis "has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men" said the motion read Monday night to student councillors, who voted almost unanimously in favour of it.

A simple web search shows how wrong they are:

Cystic fibrosis is diagnosed in males and females equally.

The University needs to teach these students better research skills or at least introduce them to Google.
