I wonder why they didn't survey white students in a majority black setting....

I mean, the entire study is based on a survey gauging how studentsfeel. It's basically an admission that they feel uncomfortable around white students.

Let me try to translate some of the comments from the study:

quote:

The discussion was about terrorism and I was insulted
because many people associate all people of my race as
terrorists.
No discussing terrorism because it triggers me.


quote:

When we discussed how the Chief was offensive,
there were students wearing Chief shirts. During the
discussion, there were people who were defending the
use of the Chief as a mascot. I was just surprised that
after having people explain why they were offended by
the mascot that students would still try to condone it. It
pissed me off. I did nothing because I realized I went to
a racist school.
Mascots make me uncomfortable, so we should re-brand the whole school. If no one agrees with me, the whole school is racist. Disagreeing with me is a micro-aggression.

quote:

It was me and three White males in a group. We were
working and the issue of the price of tuition came up.
Then one of the students expressed that he could not get
any scholarship money because he was a White male
and that all the money was going the Black and Latino
students.
No pointing out inequality or racial preferences that benefit me because it challenges my world view. I did not come to school to value or attempt to understand the perspective of others, so I was triggered.

quote:

I felt really uncomfortable to even speak, as I was the
only Asian kid in that group. The only conversation I
had with the group members is regarding the work. I
was ‘invisible’ to them when they were talking to each
other. (Asian, Male)
If I'm too nervous to speak, no one else should be allowed to speak either because it triggers me.


quote:

I have also witnessed and felt that when a minority
student tries to correct the comment (whether made by
the instructor or by other students) they are then viewed
as angry or defensive when in reality they are simply
trying to inform others of what is true and appropriate
11
when approaching certain topics. Situations like this
happen every semester. (African American, Female)


Because I feel as though I'm correct and insightful, people should value my contributions. Every disagreement with me is a micro-aggression that triggers me. I also know exactly how others view me and I'm offended by it.

quote:

In class, the professor demonstrated ignorance
of the Muslim religion. One of his slides literally
said: ‘Summary: Muslim women = oppressed = no
democracy.’ This was outrageous to me because not
only was it false, but also it was such a generalization. I
asked a couple of people whether I should talk about it,
but concluded that it was pointless. I ended up dropping
his class. (Asian, Female)


I quietly disagreed with the professor that challenged my world view. Since I'm not open to diversity of thought, I was triggered. I then dropped the class and blamed it on racism. College didn't work out so well because I am triggered by people who disagree with me, so I'm really hoping this racial grievance industry takes off.

There's the key phrase. She's got self-inflicted inferiority problems that are somehow the fault of other people. These people are worthless pieces of shite.

I always feel like I'm going to get robbed or even killed when I'm the only white person in a room.

While scrolling through this caught my eye:

quote:

Develop workshops and training sessions and create brochures about racial microaggressions to help students identify when racial microaggressions are occurring, and to enable them to “nail” the aggressions, thus reduce their reoccurrence. For example, create a slogan or language to be use throughout campus. For example, “Racism Alert”, “Watch it! Racism”, “That is racially insensitive”, or “That makes me uncomfortable.”


That makes me uncomfortable.

"Wipe yo aggressive attitude." might work better cause it's sassy and black women love being sassy.
