Cal Poly course examines ‘why white was invented’
Campus Reform ^ | December 6, 2016 | Anthony Gockowski

Students at California Polytechnic University can now fulfill certain core requirements by completing a course that examines the “social construction of whiteness.”

A course catalog for the school’s Ethnic Studies Department, where the class is taught, even notes that the 4-credit course fulfills “GE Area D5,” an abbreviation for Cal Poly’s “Society and the Individual” core area of study.

If this is not creating a hostile environment I do not know what is.

It’s a logic-hostile environment.

Technically, we could quibble. White is a western European subset of Caucasian. I work with a lot of tan Caucasians now. They are from India.

But this is getting ridiculous.

Perhaps the class motto is “Kill Whitey!”

I thought geeks attend a place like Cal Poly to escape this type of crap.

If I were teaching this course, the “construction of whiteness” would emphasize inventions and development of every technichal and medical advance made or done by white people.

The final exam would consist of the class foregoing the use of anything invented or developed by white men for one full week, and then writing an essay on the experience.

Obviously, this course is offered in the “non-academic”, e.g., non-STEM portion of the college.

That’s the portion that hires “professors” who couldn’t pass a 1950s high school course in anything, think it’s global warming when the sun comes out, and finds the operation of a light bulb a complete mystery.

Dumb asses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)

Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yaqub) is, according to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a black scientist who lived “6,600 years ago” and was responsible for creating the white race to be a “race of devils”.

What they really mean is “Why was western civilization invented”, right?

Don’t need a college course to explain why White (race) was invented. It is self evident that it was to provide sustenance to the rest of the world.

Why does this sort of stuff remind me of this:

Same Sh*t, different scapegoat. This is the methodology of the left.

“...it was to provide sustenance to the rest of the world.”

Yep. By sustenance I suspect you mean that in addition to being responsible for modern farming and irrigation techniques, sustenance also includes modern manufacturing, electricity, medicine, transportation, airplanes, computers, telephones, satellites and just about everything else that makes modern life possible.

If it were not for the evil white man, the world would still be comprised of savage tribes living in darkness inside straw huts or caves with dirt floors.

Thank you for the delineation. I’ve tried to talk to a SJW about the difference between negroid, caucasoid, and mongoloid, and they go completely apeshit saying that I’m assuming their race.

Umm... no. You’re one of the three. Period. Just like you’re born either male or female. There’s no wiggle room there. It is what it is. But then logic and sense evades these people.
