Yeah but the whites who don't want self destruction and culture replacement whether it's 40%, 60% or 5% should be given the opportunity to not be defenselessly led to slaughter so to speak with the rest of the sheep and sell outs.

Can someone please tell me whether college millennials are aware that the public at large makes fun of them or are they pretty much in a campus bubble? I've always wondered about that.

Why would anyone make fun of a picture being relocated and another put in it's place? Even art museums change exhibits around.

These students have no concept of history, proportionality, or real learning. Othello, one of Willie's greatest characters, a Moor. In 1604. Shakespeare's writing cross all classes, races and ethnicities, to portray the human heart or psyche, if you will. Which is precisely the point. He knew there was no difference. All men were created equal, though not guaranteed equal outcomes. Either by their own hands, or other's.

“To err is human, to forgive, divine.” Alexander Pope. Another ancient Englishman. No room in todays inn for them. They must be vestiges.

They are in a bubble. A lot of them are ageist, snarky liberals that think they know it all and everyone else is an idiot. Of course many of them aren't and are like captives or POWs of academia lol.

The headline stinks like a skunk. That's typical of fake news stories.

Most have a small kernel of truth in them, but the truth is fabulated into a lie. The Daily Caller is notorious for partly-true, mostly-phony articles.

I like Mundane Matt's take: WTF - College kids tear down Shakespeare painting because he wasn't diverse enough

Your post is typical of attempts to conflate "fake news" with "stuff other people say that I don't like". Elite college students and professors actually do believe that race, sexual orientation and gender politics should be prime considerations in judging the importance of writers. Unfortunately, there is nothing fake about this story.

While moving the painting because of "diversity", is stupid. If the professors and students (who are majority white), want it then let them do it. You guys manage to twist this into college students who are mostly white being racist towards themselves. take in mind to enter UPenn you need a high GPA, and lots of extracurricular activites.

I see that only 44% of undergrads at U Penn are classified as "white American", and I assume many of them are Jews who see themselves as minorities. But yes, often that's just what this is, no twisting required, white college students judge Shakespeare negatively for being white, and a man who is a central figure in Western (white) civilization.
