[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone just exposed another academic for doing this same thing -- this time at U of Wisconsin. Great read.

NP here.
This was an interesting article .

On a related note, could someone explain the concept of “allowing someone into their sacred space”? This has been mentioned repeatedly with respect to Krug and also in the situation above. As a white person, I can only assume but don’t really know for sure. It sounds important for Black people so I would like to understand this concept to be able to respect it. [/quote]
[b]I think what some minority people may not understand is that white people, in general, do not have a “sacred space”. [/b]Not defending her, but maybe Krug wanted to belong to a “sacred space” or part of something bigger. Many “white people” are all just grouped together, and as a result, there is no real culture or sense of belonging at all for them. Minority groups seem to stick together so to speak. [/quote]

Minority person here, I understand that very well--I've always felt that white Americans are a mishmash and don't really have a strong sense of identity.  (My MIL is a white European, and for that reason her son has that sense of identity, but most white Americans don't.)  I think that's why really homogenous white affluent areas, like say North Arlington, always seem to have the most infighting and cattiness.[/quote]
