From Canada's National Post:

OTTAWA -- The Carleton University Students' Association has voted to drop a cystic fibrosis charity as the beneficiary of its annual Shinearama fundraiser, supporting a motion that argued the disease is not "inclusive" enough.

Cystic fibrosis "has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men" said the motion read Monday night to student councillors, who voted almost unanimously in favour of it.
...
The motion was forwarded by Donnie Northrup, who represents science students. Mr. Northrup did not respond to a request for an interview. (Emphasis added.)
