A “cultural competency workshop” at the taxpayer-funded University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is assigning scores to students based on how much “white privilege” they allegedly have.
The “cultural competency” workshop, which appears to be mandatory for certain students, requires participants to “examine white privilege and how it is more powerful than other types of benefits afforded by society” by completing surveys, reports Campus Reform.
“I can choose blemish cover or bandages in ‘flesh’ color and have them more or less match the color of my skin,” one statement on the surveys says.

“I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the newspaper and see people of my race widely and positively represented,” reads another question on the University of North Carolina “white privilege” survey.

The workshop, which could last many long hours, students are warned, also includes a separate “cultural competency” survey designed to determine how rich or poor students are.
I get whatever style the kids have in the house. Today, it's either Hello Kitty, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...
Nope, wont work. The muslims and the Jews will have a fit.
It must be comforting to know that shoe designer Louboutin has introduced a new lion of shoes that comes in 7 flesh colored tones. They’re yours for a mere $600. Hurry! Four shades have already sold out.
Why is this an issue? Are they saying non-whites cut each other more?

My Miquel and Maya bandaids are the height of fashion!
Yes but I carry a blue-black handgun as a preemtory gesture to offset the bandages.
Living in Raleigh near the Chapel Hill bastion of of liberal loons it isn’t too difficult to believe this story.
Racism seeping out.
In before the Crybullies meme. Hehehe.
I always thought that it was racist to not have flesh-colored bandaids for blacks. This confirms it.
We need to have a complete spectrum of colors so all will feel included. Freckled too.
Earle Dickson invented the self-adhesive bandage, and he was white. I suppose, then, that when people of non-white races use bandaids of any sort they are guilty of cultural appropriation.
Seriously, the progressives are the most fatuously ridiculous people on the planet. Unfortunately there is a large political party that panders to their nonsense.
Should have been posted as part of the previous thread.
Sigh.... imagine if people used their brain cells to explore or invent or to help those around them instead of finding things to be offended about.
Hair straightener, used by black privilege seeking white privilege.
Well when the article doesnt pop up under a search for “band aid” nor Carolina” ...thats what happens. Deal with it.
I was talking about the “Friday Silliness” thread.
Lighten up.
