*insulting*? Woow that's a strong word there. But I think similar discussions like these spawn up kinda every year just after the scholarships are out. Then fade out gradually.
And by the way, please don't take this seriously: - Based on the applicant's home country, each applicant will be categorized as either a Global North or Global South <https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_South> applicant, with the *total number of scholarships distributed between the Global North and Global South being set at 25% and 75% respectively.* I doubt its ever been used, although its nicely typed there.
