This is why I will not apply to fellowships aimed at anybody other than the general population for grad school unless I'm really, really desperate. It is not unheard of for a lot of non-white/Asian/Indian people and a handful of women (it's pretty much unheard of in the biological sciences since we're now 50 percent - actually now more than 50 percent, might need to kick in a little for men - of PhD recipients per year. Now we just need to achieve parity at the faculty level) to get this sort of harassment and accusation that they supposedly only got in because they were non-white/Asian/Indian or female.
