Why? That is sort of the point of advanced liberal arts classes.

Do we think we need to protect college students, in their final year from graduation with an undergraduate degree from actually weighing information on its own? They have to be told this is one side and this is another?

Instead of "The problem of whiteness" lol

How about this,

Go explore Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, Enlightenment, Abolishing Slavery. Yes, sometimes not every single White make these cultural leaps to a new perspective simultaneously and some laggards are to be found. However, White cultures around the world have shown that they will develop towards better forms of civilization.

How about just admit that white people managed to do so much for the civilized, economically developed world so fast.
The last sentence is interesting to me, because the question becomes at what cost. Sure the European and American civilizations have thrived but a case can be made that much, maybe most was on the back of colonialism and worse.

Also, this class from the course description provided, appears to take a global perspective, might be a class you might want to take.

No thank you. Not until I figure out what "whiteness" means first.

Well it is a free country so I fully support your right to not take a class you aren't interested in.

Maybe you want to email the professor, maybe he would explain.

I'll one-up that and visit the professor in person since I live right next to the campus...

I see, the alleged "evils" of white supremacy (good way of begging the question, after all who can argue that there's white supremacy and it's evil, right?). But what about about the supremacy of other races, there's many to choose from, black, various asians, etc. That could be covered in the course as well. Oh I forgot, you said it's ok to be unfair and unbalanced. I don't care about this university or this course, that's their problem, but why do intelligent people like yourself defend this evil stupidity? Isn't there already enough division and race-baiting going on??

Nope, there can never be too much, apparently.

This is like the pc garbage that cost the Dems the election. It's doing more to divide people than bring them together.

Cool Story Bro! Too bad its a false story created to support your crappy talking point meant to legitimize discriminatory practices and racial issues.

About one-quarter (26%) of foreign-born blacks ages 25 and older had at least a bachelor’s degree in 2013, which falls somewhat below that of the overall U.S. population and also below Asian immigrants as well. Where did you get your fake news and false narratives? I got mine from Pew Research Studies, The Washington Post and US Bureau Census Data.

Don't forget to leave the professor some play-dough and tell him Merry Christmas.
