Should be mandatory. There are plenty of whiteys with an identity crisis that need to be healed too.

Oh I agree, it should stay voluntary. But we shouldn't allow white students to not volunteer for it, it just reinforces their privilege and takes a step back.

Wow this is pathetic.

They are holding a class for white people to feel bad about themselves for being born. Since the country is unfair for black folks, white folks should be ashamed of their existence

I'm aware that I'm white and have no plans of a conversion.

I'm all about leaving things like this up to individuals who want to learn, but should we really let white students off the hook just because they didn't volunteer?

If you really cared about about the importance of diversity in our college universities then you should insist that this class be open to whites only.

students who self-identify as white


You mean I've had a choice this entire time??!! Why didn't anyone tell me??

As of this moment forward, I self-identify as Pacific Islander.

Boom. White guilt vacated.

Unbelievable, you're so entrenched in your privilege that you feel entitled to the racism that you've created and only you are capable of. Non whites don't need this course, as racism is a uniquely white problem, but to deny other races the opportunity to be racist is even more racist and something that only a privileged and racist white mind could invent, even though other non whites are incapable of racism.

If someone who "self-identifies as white", can be deprogrammed into a guilt ridden state of depression, can't someone who doesn't "self-identify as white" be reprogrammed to enjoy white privilege?


These racist buffoons are pathetically comical in their attempt at self-loathing.
