I’m a white writing professor, and apparently, that’s a problem. That was the unmistakable message sent to me at Penn State University – and that’s why I’m suing them.
In November 2020 – nearly half a year after George Floyd’s murder – I was subjected to a “White Teachers Are a Problem” video for a monthly professional development meeting for writing faculty. Its featured speaker, Asao Inoue, is a self-described antiracist practitioner. Not an obscure one, either: About a year prior, Inoue gave the Chair’s Address at a prestigious writing studies research conference – the same field in which I earned my Ph.D. – where he declared, “White people can perpetuate White supremacy by being present [...] Your body perpetuates racism.”
At the heart of Inoue’s appalling comments is the baseless attribution of negative characteristics to a particular race. Inside radical academic bubbles, that might be applauded; in the real world, that’s called discrimination. And it’s illegal. When discrimination enters the workplace, depending on its frequency and intensity, citizens can file a hostile work environment lawsuit against their employer.

“I guess we’re long overdue for NAPOC….National Association for the Protection of Caucasians.”
Go ahead and try it. You’ll be labeled a “hate group”. Nobody will join you, nobody will fund you.
This isn’t just idle speculation... there was already a “NAAWP”, and that’s what happened to them.
Academia has been thoroughly infiltrate and polluted by communists, socialists, Marxists, fascists, and anarchists, since the late-60s. Like other institutions and corporation that they infiltrate and pollute, it’s likely too late to reform them. They must be torn down, cleaned-out, and rebuilt, from ground-up.
Well, maybe I’m wrong and the times have changed. Go for it, I for one won’t condemn you. But in my experience, white people in America have less than zero racial solidarity and not much interest in it. They’ll gladly be shoving each other into the concentration camps hoping that they’ll be spared for being one of the “good white people”.
Good. The article is beyond your comprehension.
Fixed it. Don't play the left's language game.
I wasn’t playing anyone’s language game. I was just responding to a comment that said “he/she” and I was too lazy to scroll back to the top to figure out which was correct, lol.
It’s still entirely proper in the English language to use “they” to describe an individual of indeterminate gender (even if that gender is only indeterminate because I’m lazy).
Hello?
I used to teach at Penn State main campus. Last month I pulled up my department’s website and the change was unreal. It is now a gay & lesbian, woke, racist, and women’s rights department.
It used to be Agrcultural Economics! It is now so woke it is unrecognizable. Amazing.
It is now called “The Pennsylvania State University Department Of Agricultural Economics, Sociology, and Education”
