Why is it that blacks seem to have more organizations compared with other minorities? I have never in my life heard of an Asian college fund or Latino college fund, yet there is the Negro College Fund. Does this have to do with slavery?

Blacks have more organizations because they are the largest minority group in America and have been here in significant numbers for the longest amount of time

It’s because the media is dominated by baby boomers who came of age during the days of Dr. King that blacks get so much more attention than any other nonwhite struggles. As younger people take their places we will see more of the realization that interethnic relations are not and never have been solely or mainly black vs. white in this country. There are plenty of other organizations around. Just providing scholarships alone there are the American Indian College Fund, the American Indian Graduate Fund, the Latino College Fund, Soledad, HACU, literally hundred of others. Go to http://www.saonet.ucla.edu/fa/scholar/outagenc/schethn.htm and you will see every group you can think of represented, from Koreans to Hopis.

Actually, they do exist, but they just are not as well-advertised as the black ones. Native Americans have a lot of organizations, too.
