[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe people want to learn about non-white people.  What a waste of a brain.[/quote]
Most stuff written by non-Whites is vastly inferior. Compare Plato/Aristotle to Du Boies. No contest.

[b]Also, I find that when Leftists ask for “diversity” they just mean studying stuff that blacks and Hispanics have written. No Hindu, Chinese, or Islamic literature/philosophy. For example, look at this new “diverse” reading list for the Spring Humanities 110 class at Reed College( which they changed last year because of student protests)[/b]

“Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Poems, Protest, and a Dream: Selected Writings, trans. Margaret Sayers Peden (New York: Penguin Books, 1997).
W.E.B. Du Bois, Souls of Black Folk (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007).
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man (New York: Vintage International, 1980).
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God (New York: Harper Perennial, 2006).
David Levering Lewis, ed., The Portable Harlem Renaissance Reader (New York: Penguin, 1994).
Alain Locke, ed., Survey Graphic; Harlem: Mecca of the New Negro (Baltimore: Black Classic Books, 1980).
Jean Toomer, Cane (New York: Liveright, 2011).”

[b]Where’s all the Chinese, Hindu, and Islamic literature/philosophy?[/b]( you know, serious stuff that isn’t just people whining about how they can’t get ahead) You throw out St. Augustine’s Confessions so you can read Harlem Renaissance garbage? Give me a break![/quote]
That’s a very fair point that Leftists avoid[/quote]
