I've been watching you for a few years. Why do you always make your character white in video games? Especially that one game, uh... Checks post history.. Askreddit! Fuck.

[–]joeythebluecollar [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Haha I rarely play games anymore. But i used to make my sims caracter white and tried to make him look just like me even though i always failed to make him as ugly as I am. I swear if i knew making my sims character the same color as me was racist I never would have done it!

    I'ma borrow a recently popular phrase from the leftists, and say it must be because the problem with non whites is inherent, implied, and normalized so we only only need a class to actually point out the problem with whitey

    Ok so I've read the article, course description, and many of the comments posted here. From what I've gathered is that the point of the course isn't to be rasict against white people at all, it simply looks to set in perspective how white supremacists/supremacy works in modern culture and what the effects of it are and how to respond in an informed way.

    Nominally that sounds completely acceptable except the course title seems to be (perhaps unintentionally) misleading to the point that people are taking it as racism against whites. I won't defend the course title as it is off putting in that manner, however it does seem that many people either aren't taking the time to look into the course material or are simply finding a reason to be upset.

    I also agree that the college has a right to teach whatever it wants, though I would seriously reccomend a change in its course name to avoid this type of controversy.

    Reading the article, and the professors responses, which are highly unprofessional, I'd say their are issues with the class. The presentation of the classes title and description, paired with the professors response, make him out to be a needlessly inflammatory race-baiter.

    Yeah, that's kind of my thought here. If they taught a class called, "the problem with blackness," would the same level of support exist? How about, "the problem with latinoness"?

    If it's only OK because it's about whites, but not OK with other races, it's not OK. In fact, it's pretty clearly racism.

    Would love to see a similar course that talks about systemic racism without making it a blame game.

    I absolutely admit there are problems with my white culture but the failure of anyone in academia to even whisper that sexism and homophobia are problems in other cultures simply lets me wave it all away as professors trying to justify their jobs.

    I half expect to find out the course asks you to turn in a "final solution". Calling any race a "problem" is probably not a good idea.

    Yes, and same goes if the title was the problem of blackness.

    [–]kaisettevelliane 38 ポイント39 ポイント  (46子コメント)

    What bothers me is that people think there is such a thing as "being white" or "whiteness". It's not a state of mind or anything that we have, we just do our thing whatever it is.

    What bothers me more is that an inane course like this exists though, what a huge waste of time.

    [–]NotFakeRussian 35 ポイント36 ポイント  (5子コメント)

    I think it's trying to talk about "whiteness" in the same way as people talk about "the black experience". There's a high level of awareness, consciousness, about what it means to be black (or other minorities) in America. What it means to be white doesn't get the same examination. But if you want to look at how race and power works, not considering what whiteness is, is kind of stupid.

    It's pretty standard university type stuff. People thinking about things and discussing them.

    [–]Some_Pleb 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I think what people have an issue with is that there are indications that the study and examination of white culture in the class will not be academic. I live in the bay area, attending university here. I am privileged to live in a place with many people interested in having an honest conversation about culture differences. The background of the professor, and the specific diction he chose to use when creating the course doesn't seem like he is most interested in having a balanced discussion.

    At the very least the title of the course is disturbing and has strongly racist tones (that white people are problematic because they are white).

    A majority of the US is white, and live in very diverse places all with distinct histories and culture. Referring to white people as a homogenous group in the united states at all is an oversimplification.

    [–]mathieu_delarue 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    It's about the perception that a different set of rules apply. In terms of encounters with law enforcement and the justice system it's certainly true. I'm more interested in why suicide rates etc. are so high among white males. Again, it's about perception. I think some white people are just as bought in to the idea as everyone else, and that's why their failures hit so hard. "You're white and you still failed. You are a loser of epic proportion." Not necessarily my words or belief, but I do see that dynamic playing out over and over again. It's worth studying in an academic way, because that anger is fueling white supremacy. Too many think that getting the browns/blacks/jews out of the country will improve their lives. They are vocal about it. And whenever somebody tries to examine what it's all about, those too many say, "you're the racist."

    Also I must say clearly, this kind of study isn't about broad-brushing all white people or trying to label them all with an identity or set of morals. Most white people are like you, wherein race is not a big part of cultural or social identity. But the number is shrinking and we ought to try and understand why.

    [–]10018_throwaway 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (18子コメント)

    That seems to be exactly what the class is about. That you don't think about whiteness or being white is tells something about your experience of being white.

    I am not sure why anyone would get offended by a class like this being offered. It is not compulsory to take it.

    [–]fundayz 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (7子コメント)

    The name is awful and you cant deny that.

    Would you say a course named "The problem with Blacks" would NOT be offensive, regardless of content?

    Why do you think majority groups arent allowed to be offended by offensive sounding things?

    [–]PresidentDonaldChump 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Yeah exactly. You can have a course about the experience of being black in America and it's all about the struggles and challenges that black people face, but if you call it The Problem With Blackness people are gonna be pissed.

    [–]NusringPositivism -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    That's the issue. "The Problem With Blackness," would be a course about the problems black people face. "The Problem With Whiteness," is framed as a course about how white people are a problem.

    Why doesn't this professor make that course about the problems white people face? Then he could compare notes between the two classes, scrap both of them, and come up with one simply called "The Problem".

    We live in the same society. There isn't black or white poverty, black or white crime, black or white hunger. But there is poverty, crime, and hunger.

    When one group of people starts blaming another for all their problems, that's what keeps real racism going. There is no problem with blackness. There is no problem with whiteness. There are only problems, full stop.

    Racism in America is 100% perpetuated by media anyway. It's a fantasy, and it will continue until people stop daydreaming it.

    [–]10018_throwaway -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    "The problem with Blacks" is very different than "The problem of Blackness", which would not surprise me as a course name.

    Majority groups are "allowed" to be offended and indeed they seem to get offended very easily. I personally feel that you would have to be overly sensitive to be offended by the name of this course. And to attempt to cancel it or withhold funding from the school because of it is an assault on academic freedom and a kind of political correctness that stifles academic enquiry.

    [–]fundayz 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    You are in complete denial if you think "The problem with Blackness" would not be considered offensive.

    And to attempt to cancel it or withhold funding from the school because of it is an assault on academic freedom and a kind of political correctness that stifles academic enquiry.

    Strawman argument. I didnt argue for that.

    [–]10018_throwaway 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    The problem of blackness. Who is black? When did the concept of being "black" originate? At one point Irish and Italians were considered "black", but this is no longer the case. Why? Is blackness purely cultural or must there be some genetic component? What is it about blackness that makes someone black even if, like Barack Obama, only one parent is black and they are raised in a whie household? Or if they are even only 1/16th "black"? etc. There is plenty of material there. I would think that someone is over-reacting if they were offended by that too.

    [–]fundayz -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I would think that someone is over-reacting if they were offended by that too.

    That doesnt prove its not offensive it proves your are out of touch with most people, as evidence by your comment's negative scores

    [–]10018_throwaway [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    The point is, it shouldn't matter if you are offended. Are you really trying to argue that something shouldn't be discussed because it offends you? I think you are pre-emtively being offended because you think that black people would be offended if a course called the problem of blackness. That is ridiculous and the epitome of looking for things to be offended by. Maybe you are not aware that the word "problem" in this context doesn't have a negative connotation.

    Please know that this sub doesn't represent "most people" and that you should not tailor your thinking to whether you are up or down voted. I don't really understand what this part of your reply even means. That I am out of touch with thin skinned, easily offended white people? Well, perhaps that is true.

      Race is socially constructed and changes over time. White, in the colonial days essentially meant Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Whiteness has evolved to gradually include previously disenfranchised groups such as the Irish, Jewish, Hispanic, etc. Understanding that race is a fabricated construct is important, particularly in the U.S. Here, postwar liberal reform essentially conflated class with race, which led to race-based remedies for class-based issues. (e.g. race-based University admission policies.) As a result, these 'remedies' have chronically ignored the plight of significant groups of Americans. (e.g. non-minority poor and working class individuals.)

      This is my biggest problem with affirmative action. It's not that it's pro-minority, it's that it pretends to be a solution to an issue that's more strongly tied to economic status than to race. News flash, it also blows to be poor and white.

      [–]soupjr -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Well, the issue is that it is about the definition and experience of a particular racial construct - e.g. Whiteness. It's aptly named - it just sounds off if you're not familiar with the area of research. Another example would be someone studying liberalism in the 19th century ... which would be examining "conservative" ideas such as limited government and laissez-faire economic policies.

      What bothers me is that people think there is such a thing as "being white" or "whiteness".

      Probably so does the course. When people in academia talk about problems with whiteness they are usually indicating a problem with the existence of a white identity that agglutinates people who have no common culture whatsoever.

      As such, unlike other ethnic identities who are interlinked by some shared cultural background, the idea of whiteness is usually linked to nothing else that “think that screw over non-white people”

      the existence of a white identity that agglutinates people who have no common culture whatsoever.... the idea of whiteness is usually linked to nothing else that “think that screw over non-white people”

      That is so fucking racist and hypocritical.

      "White culture is defined by being racist, while non-white cultures actually have substance"

      Do you honestly not see how making assumptions, stereotypes and generalizations based on skin colour (white) is racist?

      And then people wonder why BLM and regressive SJWs get called racist...

      people in academia

      And that's just the thing. People whose education ended with high school have trouble with the abstract thinking skills required to problematize a concept - any concept - that they find uncomfortable. They see the word "problem" and they get insta-butthurt, because they don't understand what it means.

      It's why garbage euphemisms like "challenge" (as a supposed synonym for "problem") are so widespread in the corporate world. It allows people with an education (who have been taught problematization and critical thinking) to interact successfully with people without an education, who might hear the word "problem" in a business meeting and - again - get insta-butthurt and mentally disengage from the discussion.

This isn't free speech this is a professor who is taking a whole semester teaching kids about his hate-filled opinions. It's like basing a course on a medical blog by someone who is not a doctor or nurse or has any medical-type of degree.
        What would be your opinion is the course was titled "Problem with blackness" with the same course descriptions except change white with black? And was taught by a man who was white?

        This is really about undermining a host culture. By declaring the dominant culture racist, you can attempt to legitimize the vilification of said culture.

        Identity politicking sociologists are the first to say "white people are racist", but they don't seem to be remotely interested in looking at the experiences of minority peoples in non-Western nations - to get a global benchmark on the minority experience and then determine to what extent oppression actually exists.

        Nah, that'd be way too honest. "Hey, I'm from a culture that openly murder religious minorities, women, and LGBT people, but you whites are oppressing me."

        Yeah, these two statements seem to contradict one another. So the course is about "racism of all kind" yet "the angrier whites get the greater the need for" this course.

        There's no contradiction here. What it means to be white (in America) is to not have your identity challenged in any way. The fact that so many people are pre-emptively getting defensive about this course says a lot about dismal the state of race relations (at least in this corner of the internet).

        Edit: this seems relevant

        What it means to be white (in America) is to not have your identity challenged in any way.

        lol

        Okay.

        Yeah that's great, except the professor said the fact that "whites" are getting angry proves the need for his course. The course is supposedly a response to racism of all kinds. If that's true then why are only whites supposedly getting angry and how does whites getting angry prove the need for the course? Sure sounds like the course being about "racism of all kinds" line is complete bullshit, unless of course the professor subscribes to the laughable notion that only whites can be racist because they have the power, therefore "racism of all kinds" pertains to only whites.

        Clearly you've never been to Vancouver.

        To be honest. Campaign for it and make it yourself. You fail to read what the course is about so you just jump straight to being offended and throw up the "Well, what if we did it?!" Well you didn't, and if you'd honestly like to see a class started on such a subject, that'd only be a response with no substance, then just go for it!

        I can tell you've never been to university.

        The course syllabus is for the state legislature. No one sticks to that description.

        Try to be more aware of authoritarian brainwashing.

        That's one step removed from "The White Question". I thought we taught the Planet what happens when you blame an entire race for all of societies problems?

        Good. Obviously we need better education on these matters. Just look at the reaction to that MTV video... Holy shit so many white tears

        Obviously I'm not unbiased, being a product of an east coast elitist school that allowed such horrid things as an "African-American studies" program and the vegans to have their own separate but equal dining hall, but I don't see what the big deal is. It wouldn't have surprised me at all to have seen a "problem of blackness" or "problem of 'oriental'" or problem of whatever. Non-whites are accustomed to discussing concepts around identity - because they don't really have much of a choice about it. It's thrust upon them from birth.

        But suddenly, try to talk about white identity and the most oppressed group on earth - white people - are throwing a tantrum and screaming for blood.

        Get a grip, people.

        So lots of people here anti this course. Wonder what the overlap is with people who think safe spaces at unnecessary and stifle free speech

        We can research it but we need more taxes dollars and to raise tuition.

        University kinda sounds like a business huh?

        Strange that. Pay Up or you're racist.

        Can anyone find a syllabus for the class? I'm curious to see what the curriculum is like, instead of assuming the whole course is a bunch of racist trash.
