At Arizona State University (ASU), students can now learn about the problem of whiteness in America.
The public university is offering an English class to its students this semester called Studies in American Literature/Culture: U.S. Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness.
According to the class description on ASUs website, students will be reading The Possessive Investment in Whiteness, Critical Race Theory, Everyday Language of White Racism, Playing in the Dark, and The Alchemy of Race and Rights.
At time of publication, 18 students were enrolled in the course offered at ASUs Tempe campus. Students can receive three credits for successfully completing the course.
The class syllabus is not available online.
"I think it shows the significant double standard of higher education institutions," James Malone, a junior economics major, told Campus Reform. "They would never allow a class talking about the problem of 'blackness.' And if they did, there would be an uproar about it. But you can certainly harass people for their apparent whiteness."
The course, first reported by the Pundit Press, is taught by Lee Bebout, an assistant professor of English at ASU. According to his faculty page, critical race theory is one of his research interests.
Bebout, who is white, has previously taught classes titled Transborder Chicano Literature, Adv Studies Theory/Criticism, and American Ethnic Literature, among others.
Campus Reform was unable to reach Bebout by phone in time of publication.
Some questions come to mind:
1) Did they break down these students by race?
2) I wonder how much the course costs...
3) How do the parents feel about their children attending a course like this?
The Problem with Being White?
All of the blame and none of the benefit for what passed before.
Bebout’s disadvantage is he got an F in the course “Studies in How to Think: the Problem of Stupidity.”
Reason # 44 to not go to an American university, or go at all.
RE: Reason # 44 to not go to an American university, or go at all.
Can you post reasons #1 to #43 for us? :)
it being ‘white’ is such a problem,
how does the good professor explain
Michael Jackson?
Americas gross APATHY DEMANDS things such as this..
AND will continues UNTIL apathy BOTTOM is reached..
ARE YOU THERE YET?..
Not to be confused with any courses on logic, research, statistics or the hard sciences.
1) Marxist indocrination
43)Vilification of men, unless homo : )
“Indoctrination “that are : )
One can throw money into the street and gain more than they can get from this worthless dreg of a course. The goal of liberal whiteness purveyors is to allow intellectual weak-d*cks like this “professor” to take money from nieve marshmallow major low IQ students.
It appears that non-STEM accreditation committees are about as worthwhile as are Nobel Peace Prize committees.
Even a cursory look at crime statistics would suggest that “whiteness” is not the problem.
How bout all of the superrich black people who can stand to lose some of their money? Shouldn’t they be guilty of something. Bruno Mars, Kanye West, Michael Jordan, etc..they certainly have a lot more to fleece than the white middle class. Go after them for awhile. Much more profitable...
Has a familiar scent of history tinged in the germination of these seeds .. what pray tell does this course remind me of??
ahhhh yes - this was it:
die Endlösung der Judenfrage
"White" is not a race.
Caucasians are Flesh colored and darker.
He definitely looks like his elevator might not go all the way to the top. He hates his skin.
Does he offer a “final solution to the White Problem”?
That’s racist! /s
