Even saying "students of color" CAN be "racist" IMHO since some "Hispanics" are def white and some Asians even have pasty white skin tho I agree 100 percent with what you're saying.
The biggest irony here is that all the liberal people who defend this silliness are the same people that claim to "value education" more than people on the right. SMH.
Yes, your right, only educated people vote democrat. That must be why every liberal urban area in America has the largest degenerate population and highest HS dropout rate. To be fair though, they do have the highest rate of "aspiring rappers" too. ha. Yeah, a well educated bunch they are.
I guess once the school hires their "Discrimination Officer" then that officer can look over the papers and determine if it was a racist action.
What they should do is use a quota system to make sure discrimination isn't happening.
Once they hit their quota for a specific race then all subsequent papers cannot be graded poorly or corrected.
It's quite easy to achieve equality and diversity.
Just force the issue through quotas.
Actually, the biggest irony is that the people who are always complaining about black folks are in this thread complaining about black folks, when the article does not specify it was black students making the claim about their grammar being critiqued more harshly.

The discrimination officer would not be hired to police student grammar. That person would be hired as a result of UCLA's internal investigation, where they concluded on their own that they were engaged in discriminatory hiring/employment practices.

I thought CA was the epitome of diversity and non discrimination ?
Did he also correct the grammer and spelling of illiterate white or Asian students in the class? If so, he was not "racist", he is simply treating everyone equally. No one should get a special pass for stupidity based on their race.
I would like to see the papers that were "corrected".
Black man speaking here:
That might make him racist, but with regarding to those papers he corrected, it does not make him wrong. Actually, if he failed to hold the others to the same standard, he was failing them, not passing them.
College kids always want to get fired up over something. Frequently, they should be ignored, and generally the people who deal with them all the time know what to ignore and what not to ignore--we have to see how this plays out within the university.
We also should learn to ignore media pundits whose profession is to stir up more controversy where controversy is already being handled effectively.

Back in the days of the segregated military, the major valid complaint black soldiers had was that they got substandard training--they were not pushed as hard as the white soldiers--and then were thrust into combat.
No, it was not racist. He might be, and he might be grading the black students more harshly. If so, then as a professor of education and information, he's giving reduced value to the white students.
If I didn't know that "indigenous" should not be capitalized, let my professor please tell me.
In any field, if I don't know the job, let my professor's please tell me. If I'm in pilot training and I don't know something about landing a plane, let my flight instructor please tell me. If I'm training for combat and I don't know something about staying alive while under fire, let my drill instructor please tell me.
If I'm studying communication and I don't know the grammar of the people I'm learning to communicate with, let my professor please tell me. If he did not tell me and let me go out without knowing...that would be racism.

Well, there is more than one correct "English," and within every English there are many permitted and debated variations.
But those issues aren't under question here.
Please notice that I began the previous sentence with a conjunction. When I was first learning grammar, that was prohibited. Today, however, it's permitted, at least where strict standard grammar is not required.
