Be careful the color of a person you call racist. Especially on your own time. [More]
And double-especially if that person is a domestic terrorist.
Because white-privileged academia will make you the bad guy, all the while telling you how much they value free speech BUT...
I don't suppose it occurs to an engineering school that equations and formulas are objective, and detached from "diversity" considerations... ?
Except for sexism, of course...?

ReplyDeleteThe Black Liberation Army was supported by the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, a group responsible for mentoring future President Barack Hussein Obama Jr.
But David, didn't you know that MATH ITSELF is racist? Yup. Math is racist because it is being used to produce results that are unequal between the races.
ReplyDeleteIf statistics indicate that a given ethnic group is more likely to commit criminal acts than another then clearly that math is racist. I suppose the FBI crime stats showing that Blacks (>13% of the population) commit 52% of the crime is racist.
Nothing like "inconvenient" truths to rile some people up.
STEM programs at colleges and universities are being forced to accept minorities whether or not they have the grades and/or pre-requisites, so I guess in that sense "diversity and inclusion" are important even there. Competent candidates are being rejected because the limited availability of seats in those programs must be "inclusive" of X-percentage of minorities.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, "speaking truth to power" can be damaging, but this professor's comment is accurate, if one replaces "lynching and cross burning" with "rioting, looting, and vandalism" with vandalism including property burning as the behavior of choice.
If you also include the numerous cases of blacks burning whites to death in recent times, then "people burning" becomes semi-equivalent to cross burning - except it is murder, rather than a merely inappropriate threat.
I agree with the prof, save that he was being gentle with his comparison.
