Its stories like this that reinforce my belief that Jeff Pearlman’s UD-is-Racist-Because-It Won’t-Play-DSU article chases a non-existent enemy, while a more real problem is the propensity for colleges to lean towards joining the thought police.

I’m hoping that the training that the RAs received and passed on is not actually a reflection of UD’s policy. Anyway I’m apparently a racist since “A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination. (This does not deny the existence of such prejudices, hostilities, acts of rage or discrimination.”
The training manual was posted at: http://www.thefire.org/pdfs/3d0208922083e5d59664be8371ab5f0f.pdf?PHPSESSID=c6fbbb05a21c207a06570748d1d61a7c
I don’t know anything about the advocacy group that is putting the pressure on, but their piece can be found here:

It seems that since your departures, things at UD have become double-plus-bad.
