College course blames 'global whiteness' for attack on Pearl Harbor, Pacific War

The attack on Pearl Harbor was "Japan's attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism."

A University of North Carolina course titled "Global Whiteness" blames the West in general and the United States in particular for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent Pacific Theater battles of World War II.

Campus Reform obtained the syllabus for the course that characterizes the Pacific Theater fight as "the first global attack on white Anglo-American hegemony" and "Japan's attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism." The course's required text is Theodore Allen's The Invention of the White Race, vol. 2: The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America. Professor Mark Driscoll's class also includes student presentations on topics like Donald Trump's racism and "interracial hookups on campus."

This is yet one more illustration of the insanity and rigid ideological control rampant on college campuses across America. Maniacal Marxist "mentors" incessantly attack the very country that lets them achieve wealth and tenure for spewing their toxic idiocy at often tragically receptive young people. The less logical and more insane the idea or claim, the better. On campuses across the U.S., professors now routinely teach that "White privilege" leads to horrible things like competence, discipline, self-control, literacy, meritocracy, politeness, and work ethic — by which they mean to excuse the opposite. Yet by attempting to legitimize incompetence, sloth, illiteracy, and rude behavior in this way, they also assign them to minorities. Can anything be more racist than that? That they usually get away with it illustrates their very real "progressive privilege."

College professors would have us believe that "global whiteness" caused 9/11, the Killing Fields, the extinction of the dinosaurs, COVID-19, Dutch Elm Disease, and the heartbreak of psoriasis.

Pearl Harbor was our fault because we’re white?

And women deserve to get raped if they dress that way, huh?

[TwelveOfTwenty]

What about the millions of Chinese that were slaughtered by the Japanese? Was whiteness the reason for that too?

[MPJackal]

“ What about the millions of Chinese that were slaughtered by the Japanese? Was whiteness the reason for that too?”

Or the Koreans. Japan raped that country. In more ways than one.

[JonPreston]

The white kids should have sat the Pacific theater out and watched Japan eviscerate China.

[Tax-chick]

Was whiteness the reason for that too?

Of course. You don't think Asian people have agency and make decisions for themselves, including decisions about killing millions of other Asians, do you?

It would be funny, if it wasn't so depressing, that the pinnacle of "anti-racism" is to believe that "white people" are the only full human beings on earth, and everyone else is semi-humans reacting to "whiteness."

All the evils in the world can be blamed on 1 of 3 things: Whitey, Trump, or global warming.

Absolutely. When the objective is the genocide of whites and western civilization everything is their fault.

[DeplorablePaul]

Colonialism, the spreading of western culture, to India, Asia, Africa and South America brought order, prosperity and liberal values to backward cultures. So successful was colonialism, Japan wanted to become super colonialists and rule the world. It’s hard to overlook Japan’s ideology of racial supremacy as a driving force behind its imperial designs. This course, as described, is a willful perversion of history.

I never thought I would read such drivel about a University allowing such crap to go on here in America.

I am sorry that any students are paying good money and wasting their time on courses like “Global Whiteness.” They are not getting a real education; they are just paying to be propagandized by fools.

[MuttTheHoople]

There were Asians hopeful that the Japanese would establish a true "Asian-Co-Prosperity-Sphere"...but the Japanese were simply another set of imperialists...much crueler than the Westerners.

Japan's attack on the US wasn't about fighting against White Supremacy, it was about Franklin Roosevelt baiting Japan into fighting a war with us, so we'd get in and help Britain fight the National Socialists during World War II.

[the_individual2014]

Whiteness was never responsible for the Japanese Empire hitting Pearl Harbor, just like the Jews were not responsible for Hitler doing what he did in Europe.

I love Japan btw but good grief.

“University of North Carolina”

Which one? There are 16 campuses spread across the state. If I were to guess...I’d bet it’s Chapel Hill. Of course, it could be all of them.

[Organic Panic]

And the unqualified students who have no business being in college will drop out of STEM courses and take garbage classes like this, graduate with a “studies” degree, and then work at an HR department.
