But what's going on with this in academia, I don't know. I guess you could take any one race or ethnic group and study them, and that typically goes on in fields like sociology. Yet, the article says cultural contributions of whites seems to be omitted from these new college courses, so it seems one-sided in those courses.

Oprah helped plant the seeds for these courses a dozen, (plus or minus a couple) years ago. A guest she had wrote a book about preferential treatment for "blue eyed" people. Jesse Jackson has preached for decades about institutional racism, so makes sense for these ideas to ripen and harvest the seeds for future plantings.
