Pundit Press ^ | 1/22/15 | Aurelius

Arizona State University is now offering a class that details the problems that "whiteness" has caused in the United States.

The course's entire title reads "ENG 401 - Studies in Amer Lit/Culture: U.S. Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness," and is being offered for the Spring semester of 2015.

"US Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness" is described as covering "major critical schools of recent decades--postcolonialist, psychoanalytic, deconstructionist, feminist, new historicist."

Other classes over the 200-level at Arizona cover mostly normal subjects, other than this course. Among the other classes are "ENG 241 - Literatures of the US to 1860," "ENG 440 - Studies in Amer Lit/Culture," and "ENG 471 - Literature for Young Adults."

"US Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness" is a lecture course that offers three credits upon completion.

Whiteness is a problem. Yes sir. Believe you me.

We sunburn very easily.

It’s not fair that them black people don’t burn. They must be racist.

I have the strong impression that this crap isn’t going over quite as well as it used to.

If the prof is white he/she/it should step down and give their faculty position to a person of color. Only fair.

Just another useless class leading to useless degrees, college debt, and living in parents’ basement forever.

They may not burn, but something much worse happens to them in the sunlight.

They become darker, and then members of their own race become racist against them for being too black.

Really, I am not kidding.

Employers, make sure you look carefully at the transcripts of those college graduates before you hire them.

Thank you for the link. This ticks me off. Even more that I am an alumnus. Critical Race Theory is RACIST and the IRONY is lost on those who propagate this junk.

Had a Warrant Officer on my ship who was clearly not melanin-deficient. He’d joke about all us white guys getting a tan on the fantail while we were out at sea by holding his palms up and joining us. :=)

Some years ago, a caller to Laura Ingraham said he went to a Bill Maher appearance on his campus, and Maher was doing a bit on "whiteness".

A heckler got Maher flustered went he suggested that Maher give up HIS job, and a let a "person of color" take over.

Well, one problem with being white is that we’re the only race that’s expected to just sit there and take it while other races keep peeing in our Wheaties. And if we show any adverse reaction whatsoever, we are immediately blamed for the whole thing.

I assume that’s the sort of thing that’s going to be discussed in this class. Right?

His CV is all about the “whiteness” and the MADE UP “ATZLAN”.

I think that it would be fair for any student in his class whom has “whiteness” to question the Professor about his fairness in grading and will their “whiteness” be discriminated against?

Whiteness is a problem - well, the lack there of, anyway.
