[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Malcolm X was right, guilt ridden UMC white libs are the worst. Always "whitesplaining" to us black "folk" cause it makes them "feels" good to be the white knight. As a black person reading some of these posts it's really something to behold. [/quote]

Do you think racism exists in the US today?

If so, do you think it should be addressed? How? 
[/quote]

Probably not by sending a bunch of emails and surveys to disaffected students again and again the way Michigan does.[/quote]

You’re minimizing the work they’ve done over the last decade, including better representation in faculty. 
[/quote]

You mean they've mau-maued the faculty into regularly hiring less qualified candidates and made everyone sign terroristic "diversity statements". Yeah good job.[/quote]
Do you know what terrorism means? It takes like 10 minutes for a faculty applicant to write how they’ve mentored a student of color before. It’s not an unreasonable demand. [/quote]

Harvard and MIT thought it was an unreasonable demand, and ended the practice.[/quote]
This is an incorrect read. They thought it was compelled speech.

An institution could force all of its faculty to walk for 5 minutes. That is not an unreasonable demand, but it is one that is unnecessary perhaps. Know what unreasonable means.[/quote]

They didn't suddenly realize it was compelled speech.  They knew it was compelled speech.  They didn't care that it was compelled speech until the cost of compelling that speech was higher than the benefits of compelling that speech.[/quote]
