"White" is really quite a broad category. It encompasses many ethnic groups, some of whom are diametrically opposed to each other in many ways.

It is also a merely a physical "race." Being white does not imbue anybody with anything.

It makes more sense to feel pride (or guilt ?) for being of Russian descent.

True.

That just proves that this elite school is teaching about race when they don't understand it.

And who thought it was a good idea to bring back segregation? :roll:

yeah. as if people in bleedin' new york of all places, are apt to speak about the white "race" as a whole. :lol:

maybe, these people believe that turning the tables, when it comes to historical gripe and treatment is a sufficient "revenge", as if that was needed, wanted, or helpful.

Yeah, I've heard stories of Jews being told they have white privilege :roll:

I think there's an element of antisemitism in SJW. Ironic for culture that claims to be against racism.

Part of it is that SJWs are against Islamophobia. I'm all for tolerating Muslims but there's always been anti-semitism in Islam. There are even antisemitic passages in the Koran. Tolerating Muslim culture doesn't mean tolerating their intolerance.

Here's some choice paragraphs I found from an article about SJWs at a British university.

There is always something coming up on the news or on YouTube regarding Black Lives Matter or Social Justice Warrior etc. There is always someone ranting and raving and complaining. We all are people why can't we all just get along. If we all worked together the world would be a better place. It's just unfortunate that it is not that way and never will be.

Yep. Martin Luther King wanted to bring all mankind together but the SJWs just divide people into warring factions.

Wtf? The school should be ashamed themselves for having such a ridiculous policy. Segregation and shaming tactics would just traumatize kids.

to them, superiority matters more than equality, no matter how twister their definition of it is.

Thank goodness I have a significantly disabled label to counter balance the stigma of being a white male.

Add "gender fluid" and "queer" should you find yourself amongst people for whom such things are relevant. Anyone who refuses to accept your word for it is oppressing you.
