"No, it is not. End of discussion! Period!"

^^^ This is how these ridiculous discussions should be handled. ^^^

Who knows if the professor actually believes what they are saying or if they are trying to get name recognition by stirring up hate and division...

Professor? These are the people that are "educating" our college students. No wonder this country is getting so effed up.

These people have nothing to do of substance than to sit around and figure out ways to make things racist or colorist and other such nonsense.
that appears to be what they do for a living.

We do not create a better society by banning words, expression, opinions, telling the truth even if it is painful. Something is not eliminated because it is not mentioned, that is infantilism, denial of reality.
They will end up dumb, blind, ignorant, ridiculous like a child who covers his ears and shouts "LALALALALA" pretending that nothing happens. The problem will continue and even worse, by not talking about it, it will become invisible, it will grow immensely and it will slip unnoticed into every home, where they will hide it in the closets for fear of being condemned and will live with them in privacy.

A lot of these "professors" crank out papers because they are required to by many of the institutions that they teach at and also to garner donations and endowments for the universities and colleges.

That's why you'll often such silly on its face outlandish stuff at times. Gets hard to spin subjects at times.

Probably because most reasonable people would naturally expect a college professor to have enough common sense to not say such things, even if they were stupid enough to actually believe such nonsense. That’s why.

You have to go to college to learn how to be this stupid.

I eat my chicken in patty form between two buns, served by Chick-fil-A. I know that this makes me homophobic, according to the Left; but does it also make me a racist? (Well, I'm white, so that question has already been answered.)

I guess you're right on that! I think I'm seeing it clearly where I'm at.

But the article didn't say how I was eating the chicken wrong. Whatever shall I do????

I just don't get it. The sharing of food is one of the historical ways of exchanging cultures. Am I supposed to not like things that taste good because I don't have the right color skin?
