No, you obviously didn't understand what I was getting at. Because I find your rant, and this post as well, to be offensive. Whatever your issues with people of different races and cultures, I believe the professor never had any difficulty understanding any of his students. He did correct students' grammar. And the black students seem to be claiming that his corrections were more laborious against black students, and I've merely pointed out that since we don't have any examples of his corrections of other groups, we cannot judge the validity of the black students claim of unfair treatment.
I take offense at your offense. So we are both offensive.
And I did get your point. I chose to overlook it.
Since by looking at educational averages, Asian students excel, thus their language and punctuation must be excellent with maybe some issues of pronunciation since English is not their first language. Most foreign students excel.
That leaves US black people with English as their first language and some suck at pronunciation, punctuation and sentence structure.
Whether or not the students hail from Oakland, California (or not) should be taken into consideration by the professor.
In Oakland, Ebonics is a recognized and legit language.
I suppose that could be useful. Say, if I wanted to buy some crack.
Soon there will racial quotas for grammar correction.
It is "unfair" that white or Asian students have less grammar errors then black students, so the professors will be required to invent grammar errors to achieve "equality" and "parity".

No, they will have to have quotas for admission. Anyone that has too few errors on their admission is rejected. Can't have the ignorant reminded that they are ignorant now, can we? They might feel badly about themselves.
People, all of this is because of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 created what we now call "Disparate Impact". The logic is as follows:
Blacks may be committing many of the rapes in the U.S., but that does not matter. Why? The fact they are being arrest more than Whites for this crime supposedly indicates there must be underlying racism (not actual crimes committed by blacks).
Applied to the UCLA professor, he may be correcting more blacks than any other (trying to help educate them), but it is seen as racism because the preponderance of corrections are given to blacks.
Disparate Impact. It's everywhere. Blacks cannot be doing anything more negative than any Whites. Disparate Impact is the premise, the assumption, that blacks cannot be behaving any worse than Whites. Anything that makes them look worse than Whites is "Disparate Impact" and will be considered racism.
The result: Under reporting of murders, rapes, robberies, academic performance ... literally anything that might put blacks in negative light.
