Q: So what do they teach in college now?

To the white men who told me that they “prefer” white women

I am sorry, but exclusively dating white women is not “just a preference.”

At the root of your exclusion of women of color from your dating pool lies a deep-seated allegiance to whiteness so that you and your kin can continue to benefit from white privilege. Further, straying from white women as your partners of choice could have dastardly consequences that result in the dilution of your family and your own perceived whiteness.

So, let’s make it clear: No one is the passive victim of their own internalized biases. It is not a coincidence that the girl that you had relations with last week looks like your sister, mom, aunt or the random Gap ad you found yourself staring at for a little too long.

You have had choices this cuffing season and every other cuffing season. And to think that you don’t, or that your romantic attraction is out of your control, you’re kidding both yourself and everyone around you.

You exclusively date white women because trying to understand someone else’s world is too difficult — and white privilege is as valuable as gold in a country overflowing with Trump apologists and white resentment.

Not to mention, there is a worldwide cultural obsession with looking, acting and appealing to whiteness in romance. Many women of color are encouraged from a young age to use skin-lightening creams, use apps to make their eyes wider and conform to white societal standards of beauty. The entire world is tied into this white privilege.

And you, Mr. “I-only-date-white-girls” reinforce the intrinsic value of whiteness in this nation.

Saying that you “prefer” white women is racist. Well, maybe not racist to you, except it’s hard for me to find another word to refer to someone making negative assessments of large groups of individuals that they’ve never met, based solely on the color of their skin. It’s ultimately a bigoted and harmful way to think about potential partners.

Saying that you prefer certain women to others not only reinforces stereotypes about women of color, but white women too. Arguing that you prefer white women based on the presuppositions that white women are inherently more beautiful, passive, kind or financially-stable is — you guessed it — racist!

And not only is it racist, but it’s insincere.

You know that a white woman will let you ignore your privilege a lot more than a woman of color will. Shoot, a majority of white women voted for Trump. For the most part, women of color aren’t going to put up with that. Unless her name is Omarosa.

Let me be clear: I don’t expect you to reject your white privilege.

But don’t act like you don’t have it, like you’re not protecting it or that it doesn’t exist.

A: I think she needs to be angrier or something.

Probably a Master's program in this, maybe a doctorate. Colleges getting richer and richer on cheaper and cheaper mindless indoctrination. You pay for it forever.

The answer is that they teach mostly nonsense in these colleges and universities today.
A least those going for technical degrees get to escape most of the nonsense.

Her argument has some validity. The problem is that instead of allowing cultures to evolve together these idiots try to start conflicts by forcing them on people and create resentment.

They are out to destroy the mind rather than enlighten with perhaps a few exceptions.

The once noble profession is now filled with bitter losers who can't wait to get tenured protection. That way they can be as narrow minded and bigoted as any progressive can be and you dare not question. A captive audience for their mental illness and we pay for it!

Although it was always that way. The professor that wanted you to argue with him was just something noble in the movies.

She has an undergraduate degree in public policy analysis.

She makes some major assumptions and I am not sure that I totally understand her concerns. If people chose their partners entirely on personality, it would be an irrelevant topic - but at least part of us all choose our partners based on a physical attraction. Consciously and unconsciously, people are going to have preferences about that and I think most people tend to have an inherent preference for something similar to themselves (race, ethnicity, culture, religion, politics...). Some people might want a partner with nice eyes or a big butt. Some might prefer blondes or someone with a great smile. Some might want an Instagram fitness model and end up typing angry messages on Reddit from their mom's basement.

There is a hierarchy of beauty. Nordic women are at the top, other women populate the middle rungs, and someone has to be at the bottom.

It's just nature and there is nothing anyone can do to change it, no matter how much they yell and cry racism.

This eventually graduates. Thereafter, it must find relevance where there is none and where none is possible. That leaves BLM or Antifa.

And running for Congress.
