Students burn copies of Hispanic professor's book

Georgia Southern students reportedly burned copies of an Hispanic author's book after she challenged them to examine their white privilege.
Author and University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Jennine Capó Crucet was at the university a part of a book series for first-year students, according to student newspaper The George-Anne, discussing her novel "Make Your Home Among Strangers," which tells of a poor Latina girl who's accepted to a selective college in New York.
During her talk, one of the students reportedly told Crucet, "I noticed that you made a lot of generalizations about the majority of white people being privileged.
Others, according to the George-Anne, asked Crucet why her book was critical of white people.
“I came here because I was invited and I talked about white privilege because it’s a real thing that you are actually benefiting from right now in even asking this question,” she replied.
“What’s so heartbreaking for me and what is so difficult in this moment right now is to literally have read a talk about this exact moment happening and it’s happening again. That is why a different experience, the white experience, is centered in this talk.” LINK
Crucet responded on Twitter: "Students at @GeorgiaSouthern literally burning my novel. This is where we are, America."

More leftist dogmatism. They're right and everyone else is wrong, they're just too stupid to understand it.

I knew I liked that school for a reason.

You cannot question me because of your white privilege. Anyone who doesn't see where this is going is blind

I'd like to know how lefists can explain where white privilege fit into the picture centuries ago when Africans were selling other Africans into slavery.

She looks pretty white to me. Since when does being Hispanic automatically mean "non-white?" Affirmative action?

I'd put some white privilege on her...

Sadly I thought the real kicker here was going to be that she was saying this to black people
Kinda disappointing that it wasn't

She's cute in the glamour shot ... but never trust glamour shots.
Her speech and actions would indicate that she is a skank irl.

Good for the students there. It's definitely a bit heartening to see, the kids down there in Statesboro have been known for some time to be some pretty hard partyers, it's good to see at least some of them still have their down home common sense also.

Where are we? Students exercising their First Amendment rights? Are they in any position of authority, much less a governmental or pseudo-governmental body?

Live and Dangerous is a great record.

This is our second thread about political incidents at Ga. Southern. Both coming right after LSU's beat down on them. Coincidence?

I approve of burning that book as a gesture of contempt and insult towards the book's deranged author.
