Students at Cal State San Marcos on Thursday hosted a “Whiteness Forum” as part of a communications class they are enrolled in, setting up more than a dozen displays that highlighted what they contend is how white privilege has oppressed people of color in a variety of ways.

Money quote:

Senior Yazmin Horta said she “loves” the class.

“It’s a class where I have an ability to reflect on my personal identity,” she said. “This class allowed me not just self reflection, but allowed me to apply what I learned and help people realize their identities and why racial issues are important to understand.” [Emphasis Mine]

If I was an employer I would not touch that woman with a ten foot pole. Nothing but trouble.

There has to be some attorney who can sue these schools for creating a hostile environment for white students. Sounds a potential gold mine for a lawyer.

I’m taking a critical look at my whiteness, too. It’s kind of pasty and freckled. I should have spend more time outside over the summer.

My reflection on my own whiteness has helped me to realize that the Judeo-Christian values of white Western Europe are far superior to all other cultures in the world.

It’s nice to be able to reflect on my personal identify and feel good about it.

Was there a Civil War exhibit honoring the 6-700,000 citizens who gave their life defending the Union and fighting to free slaves?

In other words, the class teaches kids how to be racists.

I do that every morning in the mirror when I shave. Don’t want to miss any spots.

Maybe they should reflect on why they are spending money on this navel-gazing nonsense.

It reminds me of the self-flagellation exercises in “1984.” The proles took great pride in admitting their shortcomings to Big Brother.

"If I was an employer I would not touch that woman with a ten foot pole. Nothing but trouble. "

When I worked at a large electronics company in Texas, I hired a lot of engineers and I was always complimented on the quality of my employees.

One day I got a call from The HR manager saying that they were establishing news techniques, rules and etc for a new recruiting class on how to recruit new employees and wanted to discover my successful secret.

I couldn't tell them the truth.
(I was very discriminating, mostly middle of the road White males with high GPAs and Asians)

If a white kid said this, he or she would have been expelled from school, attacked and ridiculed in the media. After which the kid would have a heck of a time finding a job, because the left would hound him or her for years.
