Univ. in Indiana Professor: "White Middle Class Heterosexual Men" are at "Fault" for Racism

Students and professors at DePauw University in Indiana met last week to voice their concerns about a lack of "diversity" and large amounts of racist "microaggression" on campus.

A professor at DePauw wasted no time blaming people like himself for the problems the campus is facing.

Professor of Sociology David Newman stated, “I’m a white man. I’m a white middle-class man. I’m a white middle-class heterosexual man. I’m on the right side of the equation. This is my fault. I didn’t do anything directly, but this is my fault. My silence makes this my fault.”

Senior Jonathan Reyes, a member of Lambda Sigma Upsilon Fraternity, Inc., a Latino fraternity, also sent out an email, claiming that a racist interaction took place on campus at The Hub Cafe. According to Reyes, among other things, a server, unprompted, asked members of the fraternity if they wanted jalapenos with their food.

Actual students "involved in the incident were unavailable or declined to comment," however.

OK minorities. Here’s your guy. Make him pay.

[melsec]

Oh the Humanity - they actually got offered jalapenos - someone must be drawn and quartered immediately - somebody better not offer me white bread or I am going postal! Microagression my lily white privileged a#se!

[windsorknot]

Too bad when couldn’t swap him for Peter Kassig.

yawn

[ifinnegan]

Atto-aggression is alliterative!

At Chinese and Japanese restaurants, servers have automatically given me a fork because I’m white, even though I know perfectly well how to use chopsticks. Little did I know that this was “microagression” and racist on their part. I missed my chance to take umbrage!

Gosh, why doesn’t everybody lighten up and solve some serious problems instead of stewing about microscopic misunderstandings?

He’s just looking for a special “date”.

Hello Mrs...WHAP! ...I mean, er, Ms. Can I have piece of ass ...WHAP! I mean I need some head for my asprin,,WHAP ! er, asprin for my headache.

He needs to flog himself for not being smart enough to have become a useful conservative engineering professor.

[Ken H]

Wear pajamas.
Drink hot chocolate.
Wallow in white guilt.

[VeniVidiVici]

The professor should make a point and just hang himself in class.

[Mike Darancette]

NEWMAN!

[tumblindice]

A “racist interaction”? Well.
Hmmm. That sounds series.

[KarlInOhio]

From Wikipedia: Microaggression theory is a social theory that describes social exchanges in which a member of a dominant culture says or does something, often accidentally, and without intended malice, that belittles and alienates a member of a marginalized group.

Hmm, that sounds familiar. As with anything from modern universities' leftists, I can find the prototype in 1984:

The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself — anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called.

So if you do not smile broadly and quickly whenever Obama shows up on the telescreen television, you are microagressively committing facecrime.

Hell I'd be happy if they asked me, if I wanted jalapenos.....and I'm a white guy without guilt that loves hot food.

I am so sick of these"educated' morons that feel guilty about everthing good grief enjoy life or remove yourself.

[faithhopecharity]

Very few of the subject group are significantly racist. Rather, very few were five years ago. Since Obama/holder and comrades have been shoving racist policies and attitudes at America, though, more and more Americans are developing resentment that, yes, is (quite naturally, Alas) perhaps as racially expressed as obama/holder’s racist krap. They may yet provoke a real racial fight here — a war, if you will, that most of us worked very hard all our lives to make “ impossible” in this country. Dear Leader, Presidents are supposed to bring us together. .....

[Thommas]

I’ll go you one better. Since the good Professor is so miserable being a privileged heterosexual, middle class white dude, he should be given free reign to off himself. It’s the only way to be sure that his future statements/silence, acts and omissions do not offend the sacred victim classes in society.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

The poster for a class A jerk off.

So damn sick of this white guilt nonsense.

[Thommas]

From Wikipedia: Microaggression theory is a social theory that describes social exchanges in which a member of a dominant culture says or does somethingANYTHING, often accidentallyIN THE NORMAL COURSE OF LIFE, and without intended malice, that belittles and alienates a some member of a marginalized group always finds offensive.

There, fixed it.

I'll never understand why some people believe “diversity” (i.e. having coloured people) is good. I have yet to see any evidence where diversity has improved anything.
