Just a small reminder for the plethora of people commenting on this who live in a delusional state of reality where specifically blacks are the only ones who are discriminated against based on race.
As a grad student, I completely disagree with your assessment. But I also realize it is mostly swayed by the grad students recent encounter with Loftin’s office and the graduate student Healthcare issue. To which I say: not related to their work dealing with racial issues.
Just to point out. As much as you didn’t choose to be black, I didn’t choose to be white. But it’s assumed that because I am, and the author of this article is, we are privileged bigots who had everything in life handed to them and who have no idea the “hardship” of being a person of color. So please don’t claim that you only suffer stereotypes if you’re non-white. As much as people think you’re lazy and on welfare they think I’m an idiot who’s just lucky and never worked for anything in life. That’s been demonstrated by every post disagreeing with the message in this article. The idea that every single white person is somehow privileged is so completely ignorant and arrogant and unfounded in reality. But that’s okay, I’ve realized most of the movement here is unfounded in reality.
Furthermore, if there were a group of identifiable construction workers catcalling on campus, obviously women would want action taken. And no one is saying those people who were shouting racial slurs on campus shouldn’t have disciplinary action taken. However, to my knowledge they have never been able to identify said individuals and I’d be curious to know how you suggest we go about doing so. Maybe you don’t read your emails from the University ever, but for the last 3 months we have regularly gotten emails directly on the topic of racial tolerance, title 9, and other similar major campus issues. Or maybe you don’t go to MU, in which case you would have no idea what action the administration did or did not take. You just assume none was taken. And then assumed that Tim Wolf was responsible for none being taken (quick interlude – he’s not).
And just so we’re clear, yes my life has been threatened multiple times just because I’m white. But that’s okay, I know you believe you are the only color that has ever faced racism.
PAS: racism goes both ways. It goes all ways. It affects every race. And you are not singularly oppressed or affected by it.
