Normally I’d have a joke here but I got nothing.

“Students will also consider how non-white Americans “experience and negotiate skin privilege and white normativity.”

So they’re supposed to feel worse about themselves if whiteness is not the norm?

Wouldn’t work for me... I’ve been to Africa, India, and Mexico where I was a total minority, and whenever I went somewhere I was thinking “Woo Hoo! Look at me! I’m WHITE!!”

Wake up folks. Mere equality is not their goal.

Ah, yes, racism in the pursuit of, uh, ending racism.

Far as I can tell, this is she, the newly minted Assistant Professor.

That course then should include tanning beds for each student so they don’t look so white. BTW, is the instructor white?

I’m in Vegas with my fiance and just wanted to pop in and see what was going on with the FEwepers. But I’m not going to get aggravated on my vacation. And I’ll be home Thursday to get aggravated again lol. What a bunch of nonsense. White people built anything worth anything and theyre lucky we just don’t get rid of them. And they should have a class called why white people don’t get rid of us even though all we do is suck up resources like welfare section 8 snap and anything else we can get our hands on. God knows we steal and kill and rape at rates that are astounding. This class will discuss why white people put up with blacks and Hispanics when all they really bring mostly is trouble. we will also discuss the fact that there would be no black workers if not for the federal government and these ridiculous college classes

So, how is this course NOT institutionalized anti-Caucasian racism?

Easy. Go to China or Africa, especially areas that don't get many tourists. You'll have a lot of fun being the weird stranger.

But I doubt this is what the course is about.

Of course it is!

Tax dollars sowing division. We really really REALLY need to get government out of education.

That’s our problem - we shrug off things like this with a joke, whereas they are deadly serious.

Guess who has the last laugh?

Exactly. Thinly veiled racism. Heck, they are completely open about it.
