I attended a private women’s college in the 1990’s. In history, a black femal student had her head on her desk in front of me, asleep. After class, I asked her if she was worried she missed the review for the upcoming test and her response was, “If I fail, you will just pay me to take the class again.”
According to Wikipedia, the man is 78 years old. I would have walked away from that place a long time ago.
They'll demand everyone use the term 'People of Color', take offense at the term "colored people", and then say it's not fair to expect them to be grammatically correct in their academic work.
Seems like it's just a game to establish a pecking order of who gets to make who jump through what hoops.
I wonder if they think “spell check” is racist.
Does this mean our computer spell check programs are rasis?
Of course, before you can start a new debate, you have to get halfway through the first debate. And you can't get halfway through the first debate unless you get halfway to halfway through the debate. And, naturally, you can't get halfway to halfway through the debate unless....

You can tell who rules over you by whom you’re not allowed to criticize.
Is this satire? I wish that it were. We really have reached the end-game of the Aggrieved / Victim Society if punctuation is now racist. A society is dead which wastes it time humoring this sort of horse hockey. The proper response would be to laugh them out of the classroom.
And who wants to by who tries to tell you that you can't.
These complaints are juvenile.
I hope if this young student ever needs an artificial heart she gets one designed by an engineer adherent of standpoint theory. That is if such an engineer could exist.
This hypersensitivity is not about being offended at all,
it’s about “how many hoops can we make you jump through”.
It’s about asserting power and supremacy.
Q. What’s the difference between a philosophy major and a large pizza?
A. A large pizza can feed a family of four.
Are not each of us ‘Student(s) of Colour’? The colour God made me was pale pink, though sometimes tending to bright red after too long in the sun. On cold Calgary winter mornings, sometimes a bluish hue! The comments by the professor are so PC.
Almost exactly what I was going to say. What the professor said about not “defending” a minority student is nuts. Once you get to this level, really, graduate school, how can you complain about oppression. You have done more than the MAJORITY of white people in this country.
These are grad students in education. Most of them will end up administering public schools in urban areas. Their idiocy will then contaminate the young people in this country who most need a worthwhile school experience.
Haiti uses creole, but when they write completely in French the result looks COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS —every single word is misspelled.
“Ai kut mai han wid da naif”
Like that. You can vaguely detect it IS French but the reading process is very tiring and its very hard to take the writer seriously at all.
You could be the President of Haiti but if you wrote one sentence like that you would seem like a 5 year old with a twirly hat and poopy pants.
If blacks have very strong confidence that they are in charge then after some decades standard are completely discarded and things end up as in haiti.
THAT is where UCLA is headed.
“Good thing you majored in Philosophy.... now you can sit around and think about why you don’t have a job”...

How about different rules for Whites and non-Whites? The professor would correct grammar and punctuation only on White papers. Non-Whites would get a free pass, like they do on everything else, and be able to write any wAy, dey please; an Still get dose A marks- wile dose wHiteys, dey gots to rite da rite way- nomsayin?
