It’s probably for the best that people like her don’t get too much education. Pretty much all science, math, engineering, philosophy, and business books are written by whites. She should just stick to what she feels comfortable with. That way she won’t bother those of us who actually do stuff.

Whatever happened to Diversity? Aren’t we all supposed to be happy to read about different cultures, different ways of life, about people who are different from us? Aren’t we supposed to learn from that and color ourselves enriched for the experience??

Oh, I guess that doesn’t include White People. White people are not considered Diverse.

Is that it?

She will bother us though. She's headed straight for the bureaucracy.

Why is a black university student reading a book?

I’ve heard “snowflake” in that context recently, and I like it because it’s so descriptive of these intentionally delicate individuals who choose to be vulnerable.

If you want a real source . . .

(1999) Fight Club “You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake.”

Google “special snowflake” or “special snowflake generation” and you’ll see that it is catching on. I can only hope that they will be embarrassed at how weak they look, rather than traumatized by the criticism so they have to crawl into their pajama-boy jammies, tell Mommy to make them a cocoa, and retreat into Play-Doe therapy.

They wouldnt taste very good.
Beef is much better; especially a nicely marbled ribeye.
And a baked potato with sour cream and fresh chives.

My response:

I traumatized by watching too many sports (Football and Basketball) that have so many black people.

See? White people can play this game too. Idiot. Now go hide in your racially designated safe place on campus and STFU.

Why do alumni tolerate these people and their sympathizers in the faculty. They should be cutting these universities off from any money or support at all.

Established in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of George II of Great Britain, it (Columbia) is the oldest institution of higher learning in New York State, as well as one of the country's nine colonial colleges....

George II was a white man. Shut it down!

I have a fear of clicking on links to Daily Caller or Breitbart. They muck up their sites with so many scripts and other junk, it’s scary. lol

This is Columbia. They already did, apparently as far back as 1981.

I have a feeling that the reading part is the traumatic thing. As in, the student is illiterate.

This so-called student is likely an affirmative-action loser who was traumatized by being born.
