Washington U is hosting an event claiming 'professionalism is racist'
The Daily Mail ^ | 01/24/2022 | Michelle Thompson

A Missouri university is hosting an online forum that will explore whether the term 'professionalism' is racist - and according to the event's synopsis, it is.

The February 1 presentation at Washington University's St. Louis campus centers around a term defined by Merriam-Webster as 'the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person.'

An explainer for the upcoming virtual event reads: 'The term “professionalism” has at times been used to silence and marginalize people of color, when attributes of appearance, language or interactions that have nothing to do with job knowledge or constructive collegial relationships are labeled as “unprofessional”.

'In this context, so-called professionalism is coded language, a construct that upholds institutional racist policies and excluding practices.'

As of Monday, 13 people expressed interest in the event, which is being hosted by assistant dean of community partnerships Cynthia Williams and Jewel Stafford, director of the field education office's racial equity fellowship program.

The event hosts did not respond to a DailyMail.com query, but Stafford's research is focused on 'examining racial/ethnic health disparities among medically underserved communities, specifically black populations,' according to her online university bio.

Professionalism is racist.

Punctuality is racist.

Math is racist.

English is racist.

Work is racist.

Everything is racist.

Millions of people have entered this country illegally since Biden became president. The vast majority of the illegals are “people of color.” Haven’t the illegals heard that the United States is the most racist country in the world?

Most of the Black guys I met in business when working were highly professional. They leaned over backwards to make a good impression, and they had their reasons.

Oh for God’s sake! Grow up, Snowflake, and realize that people are different and no amount of “redefinitional effort” is going to change that.

Doing anything that isn’t stereotypically black is racist.
The more you look, the more you realize wokies have a very low opinion of black people. In fact, they are incredibly racist.

How about hosting an event claiming communism is mentally retarded?

(That is, literally so.)

Don’t be surprised when you doctor comes in the exam room wearing a ball cap sideways on his head, a too big Washington football team jersey, and baggy pants with half his crack showing and says, “Yo, what up homey? Professionalism be all racis’ an all.”

I bet you the Chinese are behind this as yet another way to weaken their competition. If I wanted to reduce the competition from another country, it’s what I’d do. Start pushing nonsense like this.

Most of the black college students who go along with this world view are female. The gents in general are in college to get ahead in the world—and learn what they can, or get the credential they need, to do so.

What then would an advanced mathematics professor be? Maybe a super racist. Or super duper racist.

These are sad and pathetic people who expect the rest of us society to get down into the muck where they live so that they can feel better about themselves.

“Professionalism is Racist”: Brought to you from the same folks whose COVID-19(84) “modeling” was used to bring months of lockdowns and neverending mask mandates.

Students there who are planning a professional career might want to transfer to a more professional university.
