in the car, or, especially when I’m with all white friends, is it O.K. to sing along?”

The answer, from Sheree Marlowe, the new chief diversity officer at Clark University, is an unequivocal “no.”

quote:

Among her other tips: Don’t ask an Asian student you don’t know for help on your math homework or randomly ask a black student if he plays basketball. Both questions make assumptions based on stereotypes. And don’t say “you guys.” It could be interpreted as leaving out women, said Ms. Marlowe, who realized it was offensive only when someone confronted her for saying it during a presentation.



quote:

“What’s an environmental microaggression?” Ms. Marlowe asked the auditorium of about 525 new students. She gave an example. “On your first day of class, you enter the chemistry building and all of the pictures on the wall are scientists who are white and male,” she said. “If you’re a female, or you just don’t identify as a white male, that space automatically shows that you’re not represented.”

A nonverbal microaggression could be when a white woman clutches her purse as a black or Latino person approaches.

Another subset of microaggression is known as the microinvalidation, which includes comments suggesting that race plays a minor role in life’s outcomes, like “Everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough.”

censoring the N word when you're rapping along to a work of art created by an empowered minority is pretty much the same thing as when america was buying and selling slaves and didn't see them as humans. Those artists poured their blood and soul into their work, you do not get to stifle their creativity and oppress them even more.

I remember when, as a little girl in guatamala, the diversity officers came into my parents home to confiscate all of their non-diverse possessions. They beat my father mercilessly when he tried to stop them from taking my mother's non-diverse jewelry. To this day, I curse the name of the diversity officers.

i was playing tetherball with some kid in like 2nd grade and he was kinda indo-asian looking or something

but anyway i was like 'so where is your family from?' which okay is maybe an awkward way to put "what is your heritage" but I was in 2nd grade ffs. Plus I was from an immigrant family so I was kinda trying to relate to this kid I knew nothing about in the way I knew how.

next thing I knew the noon duty had me on time out and I was sitting there thinking wow this is some retarded crap right here

The diversity officers were unable to stop the disease of microaggression. Something more extreme was needed, so the megacities created the diversity judges. They were empowered to seek out microaggressions and act as judge, jury, and executioner.

to combat the fact that historically the department heads have been old white dudes we are setting up coloring stations in halls so that you may paint over their portraits in all the colors of the rainbow

Those examples suck rear end. Everyone plays basketball and does math. More than one woman was motivated by wanting to be the first face up there on that wall of white men. Women grab their purse at random and some people would think it's funny if someone grabbed their purse in response to seeing them.

All this microaggression poo poo just assumes everyone is depressed, can't handle the slightest negative input real or imagined (like the wall of scientists example), and enforces racist stereotypes.

Why can't she grab her purse in response to a white kid? That happens all of the time too, because of how they present themselves. If no woman has done something in the field worth being put up on that wall then why should they be put there? Come the gently caress on. We are all people, man or woman, white or black, and it's people up on the wall. If you don't "identify" with a group maybe it's you who is the problem by seeing yourself as so different and special from that group. If someone who wasn't a white man was intentionally left out then okay, it's cool to try and get them put there, but that's not what this person said at all.

idk if there were like 10 portraits up there and they were all white men and not even a token marie curie that'd be pretty silly


but they should go after the record labels pushing commercialized garbage down everyone's throats imo. what good rappers in 2016 are even dropping the n word constantly anymore?

great self own in the article:

quote:

“When you use the term ‘self-identify’ as a white woman, are you saying that you can choose your race?” one white male student asked.

“I’ll give you an example,” Ms. Marlowe said. “I went to a conference. I was talking to this man. I thought he was black. I was talking about diversity and social justice.”

“He said, ‘I’m Cuban,’” Ms. Marlowe told the crowd. “I assumed he was black because he was the same skin complexion as me, and the same type of hair.”

But, Ms. Marlowe said, while it is sometimes difficult to identify a person’s racial or ethnic background based on appearance, she does not believe that gives license to people like Rachel A. Dolezal, the white woman who claimed to be African-American while working for the N.A.A.C.P. in Spokane, Wash. “You can’t say you’re black if you’re not, historically.”

The student still seemed confused.

“Maybe we can unpack it afterward,” Ms. Marlowe told the student. “You want to come see me afterward?”
