George Lucas has given another $10 million to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to fund the student diversity program he helped establish.

The donation was announced Monday by USC, Lucas' alma mater. Last fall, USC established a foundation in Lucas' name to support students from underrepresented communities who qualify for financial support. It was funded with an initial $10 million gift from the George Lucas Family Foundation.

Michael Renov, vice dean of academy affairs, said the gift will help USC "recruit storytellers whose voices are underrepresented in cinematic media and whose inclusion benefits all of us."

Diversity used to mean Black... now it means everybody that isn't a white male... including cac women. Anyone know how effective this has been for Black people?

You sound stupid as fuck.

There are certain institutions in this country whose merits cannot be questioned. Graduates from Stanford is one. UCLA is another. MIT is also on the list.

Cmon man. Don't you know we're all people of color and we all love each other?

Even if it's a Mexican or an Indian or Chinese person getting the benefits, they're gonna love up on us.

USC has a $4.6 Billion dollar endowment....Howard University has a $685.8 Million dollar endowment...Morehouse College $130 million....now ask yourself if he was really trying to help minority students and diversity where would that money go further?
