University Says All Whites are Racists

If you haven’t looked into the practices of the University of Delaware, and you are considering the in state tuition costs of $20,000 a year or the out of state cost of about $30,000+ and see for yourself if this is the right place for you.

For your hard earned money, and you’re white, you can be called a racist, and be asked deep personal questions as part of the “treatment”.

The University of Delaware recently made a decision to subject its students to mandatory “treatment” (‘treatment’ is a term used by the university) where they learn that “all whites are racist”, racism by the ‘people of color’ is impossible, and George Washington is merely a “famous Indian fighter, large landholder and slave owner”.

The university requires that the students adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy, and environmentalism. Students are forced to attend training sessions, floor meetings, and one-on-one meetings with their Resident Assistants (RAs). The RAs who facilitate these meetings have received their own intensive training from the university, including a “diversity facilitation training”.

RAs are required to ask and students are forced to answer private questions such as “When did you discover your sexual identity?”

Students are not allowed to express disapproval of the “treatment” or of the questions that deal with their political views, sexuality and other private matters. Expressing disapproval will result in a negative report of the progress they’ve made during “treatment”, which may result in punishment.

I can’t imagine why anyone would pay squat to attend that institution.

    Oookay… I gotta say, I don’t mind the assertion that black people cannot be racist. Or that all white people are racist.

    We all have internalized racist and sexist sterotypes (at least subconsciously). It’s pretty hard for any person (whatever gender or colour) to make the blanket statement that they are not at all racist OR sexist. Some of the most racist or sexist people claim “but I love woman/black people” – it’s not about whether you consciously “love” them or not, it’s about internalized cultural biases and sterotypes.

    When I studied sociology at University we were taught that racism was something a dominant/larger group did against a less powerful group (usually a minority group). It may be bad and harmful for a white person to “racially” attack a black person, but it’s not exactly “racism” (or it doesn’t fit into the typical definition of racism) because the white person is from the more powerful group and the group that has fewer, and more positive, stereotypes associated with it. A racial slur is more harmful if directed against the minority/less powerful group. The same goes for sexism.
