Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, Ph. D. Ethnic Studies 571 - Women, Class, and Race Intimidates white men
Professor Tintiangco told me and the rest of the class that I was possibly a physical threat to the class and her. She told us during class time that she had gone to her superiors to alert them. She then encouraged people in the class to say how they felt that she went to her superiors about me, the "problem" student. For the next class time, her boss, Marlon Hom came in the class before it started and sat in the corner at the rear of the room. He was not announced or introduced; it was only after I got a death threat at the next class session, that I realized who he was, because he also sat in on that class. See, I had a little meeting with Hom and Dr. Almaguer in the Ethnic Studies Dept. just before noon that day. After class, I went by Mr. Hom on my way out of the classroom, and told him that I had received a death threat before class started. It was only as that class got going that I realized that he was the man who had sat in on the class the previous time, and that he was also Mr. Hom, her boss who I had just met earlier. Of course I was mad when the professor acted with malice and slandered me the previous week, and when I was in the class knowing that I was being watched by the professor's boss, I again felt the sting of persecution. Before the death threat, I sat through two classes where the feature of discussion was me. After the death threat, I firmly told Dr. Reevis (not a part of the Ethnic Studies Dept.) that I did not want to be singled out in class again, nor did I want to sit down face to face with Tintiango to try to get things cleared up. I left my complaint with Dr. Reevis, and he told me he would speak to Tintiangco. Targeting me in class was a serious abuse of the power structure by Tintiangco. I never said any thing that would lead a reasonable person to think that I was a threat to them. I gave a different outlook on life, and the women in the class who have obviously been coddled all there lives couldn't believe that a man would actually hold his own when they spewed their hate. I was the one who from day one said some people are quick to blame others. See, on the first day everyone had to introduce themselves (in a circle, of course). This one radical told us that she was in the class because she was sick of living in a country dominated by white men. When it got to me, I did not point out the radical feminazi or what she had said, even though I was steamed; I only touched on her topic by saying people should try to live in harmony. Obsessed with blaming America and humiliating white people
I never said anything against any race in my class, and what got me in hot water was simply mentioning understanding. Of course, I also flustered some feathers when I said I didn't believe the guest lecturer's high statistics for Pilipeano women who were made to be sex slaves in some Japanese area. The guest only repeated herself and then Tintiangco firmly said that I should be quiet. I committed a blunder - I raised a question that didn't jive with the radical feminist's preconceived notions. White men, make sure if you are in her class to not dare question a woman. No, no, women are always right, and I have since come to realize that the women in ETHS 571 were probably in that class to wallow in their victimhood. Why didn't someone warn me?! Hell, why didn't they warn me in the college catalog that this university was a nihilistic, Leftist haven. I am serious, I had no idea. I heard plenty of Bolshevistic crap in my class about killing men, feeling rage against men and white people, and whining from middle class women. Tintiangco selected radical books and readings for us. There was no balance. Everything was written by outright socialists and other radicals. We read about how Republican men are some mysterious, selfish group. We got to watch movies where white people were blamed. We had to search the web in the library for sex sites or other sites where women of color were presented in a way that would make any good N.O.W. member rise up to march. Does not meet academic standards
She probably meets SFSU's university standards, hehe, but surely her course is pretty lame. Suitable for an underground, pagan group of disgruntled women, but not a course that people should be forced into taking. It was one of the choices from the four or five ethnic studies classes that were listed as choices for the ethnic studies requirement in my major. What do you suppose the radical people of color would do if they were required to take a class about some white ethnic group? Ever notice how these ethnic studies departments on campuses are always for certain racial groups?
We got to go listen to bell hooks spew her "white supremacy" conceptions at an Associated Students event (only $5 if you were in Tintiangco's class). bell hooks is the woman best known for writing about her rage at white men and wanting to murder one. We got to talk about our feelings while in a circle most every day, we were only in groups a few times, thank God, and we wrote about our feeeeelings most weeks. Also we got a week off from class. The official reason was to have more time to work on our midterms or some assignment. But I think that might have been when Tintiangco was going on her trip to an Asian American conference in Canada. I will have to check to see if that was likely the reason behind canceling class for a week. Tintiangco made her midterm very hard. The final paper was not bad, though. You got to pick your own topic, and to dumb it all down and make us all equal, you were actually encouraged to work in groups for the final project. Making a video documentary was held up as a choice for a final project. She even showed us one that her students had made for an example. Amateur! Is not qualified to be a professor at SFSU
Tintiango sees any white man who disagrees with her agenda as her enemy. I am an open-minded person, and that can be your downfall in her class. Things would have stayed bad if I hadn't stood up for myself and complained about her. Isn't that a shame at SFSU? They constantly talk about how women, gays, and people of color are kept down, but when it comes to just treating a white, conservative man with respect and common decency, a sudden wall goes up. Shut him down! Try to get rid of him! How dare he?! Did he just point out something that I had never considered?! Get him out of here! readers' feedback on Tintiangco review

The 'professor' is creating a hostile work environment.
Sue her ass off....

Not easy to read.
Cluttered formatting: break it up into seperate chunks, if you indeed have seperate points.
You're a Custer surrounded by Indians, so you will not win anything by logic and reason, other than their hatred.
"Why didn't anyone warn me?" about this style of college? That sounds terribly adolescently naive. You chose the school. Try Hillsdale...quality education isn't automatic nor effortless. Taco Bell doesn't have prime rib nor good wine.

P.S. Why are you taking a class like that?
You really need to try to bond with your professor and feminazi Bolshevik classmates. Try uttering an enthusiastic and spontaneous, "Right on, sister," during some particularly stirring male bashing. Don't forget to include the universally recognized Communist salute, the raised clenched fist.
Also if you can get hold of a copy of "The Black Book of Communism: Terror Lies Repression" and carry it to class you will probably notice that you are finally bonding with your classmates, until they discover it is an unmasking of the murderous thugs and mass murderers that they so revere.
You can probably get it from a public library through an inter-library loan program if your local public or college library doesn't carry it. What an incredible source of info to open the doors to further conversation and debate. The Commies are obviously their heroes.
Check out a review of it at The Conservative Book Club
Don't let them get you down, partner. Glad to hear you've got your head on straight!! Keep us posted.
If I were you, I'd consider switching to a course of study that is more compatible with functioning in the real world. "Ethnic Studies" wouldn't be my choice at all.
You could realize that perhaps "gender studies" or whatever might not really be your cup of tea.
Funny how so many of us want to adopt the confrontational tactics of the left, even while decrying them.
1.You need to use about 3 times as many paragraphs as you are using right now. You are putting way too many events, thoughts and conclusions into each huge paragraph.
2. Sentences like "Does not meet academic standards" are not sentences. Make sure that all of your sentences have subjects.
3. Don't use expressions such as "he,he." You are hoping to be taken seriously, correct? So your writing needs to be serious.
4. Don't whine about what happened to you. The facts speak for themselves.
5. Less is more. Take out at least half of what you've written, and it will make a stronger impression.
6. When you are making your final revision, have someone proofread for spelling and grammar mistakes, and check the spelling of all proper names you have used.
GOOD LUCK!
Start with an intro of why you took the class. Then explain what happened in order. Make sure you write in complete sentences.
Re-submit this to FR after you've made corrections and before you send it to the university.
