A hoax paper in critical whiteness that problematises (sic) the use of white milk in black coffee as racist, has been accepted by Stockholm University and even received some praise.
The essay called "Black and white drinks" was written by 27-year-old Arvid Haag and framed as an "account of what happened from the early 20th century in the struggle between coffee and milk".
In the essay, Haag described how the marketing of coffee has been characterized by highlighting the "black and exotic elements" of the drink. With milk, however, "the local and the white" was emphasized, the news outlet Fria Tider reported.
"The question one may ask is whether it is really a reconciliation between milk and coffee that has occurred or whether adding milk to the coffee is a way to take away coffee's unique properties and instead impose white properties on the black drink", Haag wrote, labeling it "drink-based colonization" and arguing that milk "controls" and "domesticates" coffee."
The essay was ultimately given a B, or "very good". According to the news outlet, the course coordinator further commented that it was an "exciting topic", lauded the author for "creative thinking", and suggested that it could very well be expanded into a longer paper.
"The joke went completely over his head. His only criticism is that I did not have exact source references on my photos", Arvid Haag told Fria Tider. By his own admission, he chose a "rather bizarre subject" and took it to another level. "It took about three hours to write the text, and I added links to books I haven't read", he added."
Haag called the course rather fuzzy, adding that he is none the wiser after completing it.
"I still don't understand what critical whiteness perspectives really mean and no one seems to be able to explain that".
In a tweet with a link to his paper, Haag urged his compatriots to read it and think "what on earth is happening to our so-called bastions of education".
So-called critical whiteness studies, which proceed from the idea of the inherent "privilege" of the white race and investigates its sources of "systemic racism", has been a popular trend in left-wing ideology since late 20th century and is currently gaining a lot of traction in the US and around the world.
SNIP
Hard to believe these retards descended from Vikings.
I believe Malcolm X used white cream in black coffee as an illustration of how white make blacks weaker. Ofc that was said a looooong time ago.
Even in jest, this subject makes my head hurt.
Bizarre illogical thinking has always been characteristic of the Left. Concepts such as “deconstructionism”, “cancellation” all sorts of historical revisionism, critical race theory, etc are not only vile foolishness but they are being avidly embraced by tenured leftist academics. Rational decent people must know look upon anyone with a degree in the humanities from a major institution with suspicion.
Yep. We better get our crap together here.
I remember ice cream and root beer made a Black Cow. Yummy, sorry for being a racist.
The is the same crap that a pool game is racist. The white ball hitting all the colored balls into the pockets and the last ball is black. Thank you Martin Lawrence for pointing out the humor in this and how people are idiots to find meaning in nothing.
Drink your big Black Cow, and get out of here!
“Rational decent people must know look upon anyone with a degree in the humanities from a major institution with suspicion.”
More like disgust and dread than suspicion. These IYIs (intellectual yet idiots) are the termites and cockroaches of any society. They have been infused with the poison of postmodernism.
Yes, I have come to the conclusion this is likely spiritual in nature. What they spew is nonsense, I’m waiting to see one’s head turn completely around.
Another theory - what if folks like this were designed in as sort of a governor that regulates progress to a sustainable level? These libs seem to respawn... and even our own kids, you can have three normals, and the fourth is a lib. Same upbringing. It’s like they’re wired different in the head and it’s genetic.
Just thinking out loud...
Yes. He had a series of papers. I particularly liked the one about the Conceptual Penis.
LOL!
It’s pretty sad though, had to scratch that country off my bucket list (along with Scotland). Always wanted to visit.
Stockholm University is now Sweden’s Harvard University in total woketardness.
I’ve been waiting for this to become serious.
I always make sure to order my coffee black, not dark, or No cream. Black.
Your thinking is not off base. If you study history or literature basic personalities minus the bells and whistles of the era, seem to perpetually recur. There are many philosophers and behavioral scientists who believe that the essence of human behavior may have its origins in genetics and just what neuro tracts those genes directed in the utero developing brain. Of course environmental, cultural influences and habits (especially drug use) can influence those neuro tracts development and expression. However the core genetic component should never for whatever politically correct reason be overlooked.
