| Topic | USC unveils campus mural that says "Dismantle Whiteness" |

Could have just as easily said "dismantle privilege," but they deliberately chose a word that was inflammatory, and they deserve the accusations of racism for it. And I have no doubts that some/many of the people who sponsored that actually are racist against whites and think this is a "cute" way to express that without being publicly ostracized. --- - The Admiral ...
