The key feature of academic diversity ideology is the assertion that to be a member of an ever-growing number of favored victim groups at a college today is to be the target of pervasive bigotry on campus — despite, well, being favored. Taught by a metastasizing campus-diversity bureaucracy to believe that they are subject to an existential threat from circumambient bias, students equate nonconforming ideas with “hate speech,” and “hate speech” with conduct that should be punished, censored and repelled with force if necessary. This victimology fuels the efforts to shut down speech that challenges campus orthodoxies. Dozens of times in the past several years alone, classrooms have been invaded; professors, accosted and even assaulted; and outside speakers, silenced.
While these tactics have famously been directed at conservatives, that is not exclusively the case, as senior fellow at the Public Policy Center Stanley Kurtz has documented for National Review Online.
But the resulting campus culture often coaches students to see bias where none exists. That delusion continues once they leave school. The result is a growing society-wide intolerance for speakers and ideas that fail to conform to an increasingly exacting code of political correctness, on the ground that such non-conforming speech harms favored victim groups.

Annnnd black dems will never see the takeover for the “Hispanic” dem party coming.....
There is only one “final solution” to racism—kill all the white people.
Anything else is just half measures.
Once you understand _that_, everything the left says on this topic starts to make sense.
Yes. Will be biggest surprise, YOU have been replaced doll.
Block diagrams are racist.
They don’t teach it, they gaslight the victims/students, causing them to question what they know to be true to the point where they aren’t sure anymore, and begin to agree with their abusers out of sheer exhaustion.
Yup—the left uses the playbook of the abusive sociopath wife-beater....
Right angles are mathematics systemic racism.
All the rhetoric just boils down to hating based on skin color which is, where I grew up, racism. It seems a lot of contortions and convoluted thinking to arrive at the same place plantation owners came to 300 hundred years ago. Either way it’s just creating fictional reasons to disparage others based on pigmentation. Pure and simple.
Block lives matter!
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
it’s an attack on western civilization.
Not to be nit-picky, but hating someone due to the color of their skin is bigotry, not racism. Racism is the belief that ones race is inferior to yours. I know in todays society, especially the Left, people us "racism" to cover everything under the sun. Its awfully hard to defend an accusation that you are a racist, so the Left uses it because otherwise, they would lose the debate of actual ideas.
