Students burn copies of Hispanic professor's book after she asked them to think about their white privilege
Georgia Southern students reportedly burned copies of an Hispanic author's book after she challenged them to examine their white privilege.
Author and University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Jennine Capó Crucet was at the university as part of a book series for first-year students, according to student newspaper The George-Anne, discussing her novel "Make Your Home Among Strangers," which tells of a poor Latina girl who's accepted to a selective college in New York.
During her talk, one of the students reportedly told Crucet, "I noticed that you made a lot of generalizations about the majority of white people being privileged."
Others, according to the George-Anne, asked Crucet why her book was critical of white people.
“I came here because I was invited and I talked about white privilege because it’s a real thing that you are actually benefiting from right now in even asking this question,” she replied.
“What’s so heartbreaking for me and what is so difficult in this moment right now is to literally have read a talk about this exact moment happening and it’s happening again. That is why a different experience, the white experience, is centered in this talk.”

Wow. Maybe we’re finally reaching the point of push-back against Marxist extremism.
You know, people like Barack Obama, Kamilah Harris and Colin Kapernick, just to name three more prominent examples.
When you open your soul in a book, some will pour salt on the wound. Buck up.
they will be castigated for challenging this latest politically correct BS
I am willing to bet that students who agreed with the book's author burned copies of the book to make a news story about the intolerance of whites. I say false flag.
Btw, she is really easy on the eyes.
Good for them. It’s about time students push back against anti-white racism. Maybe this racist author will review her own biases on race.
I wonder what race of Hispanic she is. Native American? Black? White? Mixed?
Another college that will circle the drain with low enrollment next year.
college professor asking about privilege LOL!
Put me to mind of this:
“Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don’t need him around anyhow”
Good for these students! I’m proud of ‘em for the push-back!
Hispanics are Caucasians. Hispanic isn’t a Race.
There are lots of Blue Eyed, Fair Skinned Spaniards out there.
I would think an Educated Woman would know that.
As my Dear Mother used to say, some people are so smart, they’re stupid.
Yeah, Prof, and it was YOUR Hispanic privilege that helped get you the professorship and get your book published.
Hispanics are classified as white.
Why is AOC upset over those privileged illegals?
I understand how they feel. If you are a white kid who grew up in West Virginia where Dad was an often unemployed miner, or Flint, Michigan after Dad got laid-off by GM, you’d thoroughly resent the label “white privilege”.
Lastly, they miss the point, either intentionally or unintentionally is that they should look to themselves for their failures — when someone points a finger at someone else, the are always three fingers pointing back.
1. Minorities have drunk the leftist Democrat coolaid for decades and how far has it gotten them. They are taken for granted and they are fools for not asking — “what have you done for me lately.”
2. These leftist liars ignore the root cause of the failures of minorities — family and education! Both of which have been destroyed by the leftists and are nonexistent in the minority communities.
I believe that they whole white privilege lie is a diversion tactic. That Democrats and leftists realize that the minorities are getting wise to their lies and all that is left for the left is to divert attention and scare the minorities.
They really don’t get that breaking into somebody else’s country and demanding things is rude.........../s
Hispanic is a replacement for Spanish Surname American in Affirmative Action legal documents. Hispanic by definition would be Caucasian but remember it's useful idiots you're dealing with.
From the moment humans stumbled out of the caves they have been killing each other. The “other” was always the threat. Humans of different skin tones, languages, hair colors, eye colors, facial shapes, and even clothing and symbols, killed each other over and over from one end of the globe to the other.
Eventually one tribe developed the technological advancements necessary to end this struggle once and for all. That tribe was Northern Europeans, “whites”. In all of this time where they alone hold the capability to rid the Earth of all other ethnicities, they choose not to do so. However one group of “whites” decided that they would go ahead and pull the trigger. The other whites stood against them and at great costs defeated them.
White Privilege (if there ever was any) was a simple gesture of gratitude for making the moral choice that many others secretly admit their own people would not have made. The current movement of ingrates that wish to erase this “privilege” may very well force these moral decisions to be reconsidered. They should tread lightly. The entire scientific and technical output of the non-white world would be unable to stop a single M1 Abrahams tank.
This book was required reading for a class for first year students.
