I wrote an anonymous letter to the president of one college where I teach, protesting the forthcoming and further DEI “Anti-Racist” workshop(s). I attended and witnessed the blatant anti-white narcissism of the facilitator. A first generation American-Dominican who “identifies as black,” this anti-intellectual petty person’s grievance was all about redesigning American culture to put herself in power, assuming the white people are and undeserving of this mythical privilege. Quote: “Consider yourselves part of the white group that is detrimental to society.”
Seriously-- why is this allowed and sanctioned?
I think we need to lose the "people of color" trope. Straight up, it means "everybody except white people". That's hateful and racist.
