Its more that gals complete misunderstanding about what this disease is all about and whom it effects.
The treatment little children have to endure EVERY MORNING just to try and live a semblance of a normal life is heart-wrenching. Who give a flying fata that it may only inflict itself on caucasians...that has NO bearing on the charity itself. Stupid and inept for them to even vote on it that way.
Here is a video on what a kid goes through...every single day.

I understand what it is and what people go through, like i said before. But if Carleton stops, then every year, the money that they could have made will not be there, and that little bit every year will add up over time.
