Students at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, are demanding the removal of white and European authors from a mandatory humanities course at the college. Reed College caved to student protesters in April after they demanded that white authors be removed from the college’s Humanities 110 course. Now, the course will focus primarily on ancient Mediterranean authors.
Reed College professors have responded with confusion at the allegation that the Humanities 110 course is “too white.” “The idea that Hum 110 is a ‘white’ course is very strange to me,” Jay Dickson, a professor of English, recently said in a comment to the college’s magazine. “It presupposes that our contemporary racial categories are timeless.”
Despite the changes, the student activists are still concerned that the presence of Greek and Roman works will suggest that those works are superior to all of the works that follow.
“As a result, the first semester of Humanities 110 will become actually less diverse than it was before, because all of the non-white texts in the course will be taught after the Greek and Roman content, during the second semester,” the students wrote. “Reed freshmen will still receive the message that learning about white culture is more urgent and foundational to a college education.”

Maybe they should reject everything invented by white people too.
Fine, give them books written in Chinese, Korean, Hindi, and Thai. Tell them it would be far too white of someone to translate these works into English.
Someone tell them that Mohammed was white.
(It’s true, he was. Several hadiths refer to his shocking whiteness where his skin didn’t see the sun.)
Perhaps all white people should be thrown out of their school.
When another culture does more for the planet than white culture, let me know. There is not one nation, region or major city on earth that is black-run that is successful, by just about any measure.
The inmates are running the asylum!
"...Humanities..."
One of the long term goals.
Like indoor toilets? Invented by white people. Maybe they should just dig a hole in the campus quad.
Sounds like Reed “College” is full of a bunch of bigoted, racist snowflakes.
Exactly.
They should start by eschewing comfort air conditioning, the crapper, and electric power. Then they can really get rolling.

Civilization will not survive the Snowflake Generation.
Yeah, these “students” aren’t sitting in classrooms designed on the savannah...
I want my children to be proud of what we’ve accomplished; I tell them everything around them was designed by white people.
They need dumb ignorant self hating whites because they have to pay to go to their schools.
No free rides for those schmoes and their parents.
Get rid of reading altogether. Just have interpretive dance classes.
Right. They prefer their literature in ebonics. Yo yo yo
Well, they are difficult texts with big words, you know.
