gunplagirl 10/02/21 8:56:59 PM #8:	The email requesting an easier test for black students came from a white student. The response email from the professor wasn't the greatest look, but it's certainly not anything worth removing him from his post for. It was the university trying to protect its image and in doing so, it broke the law and financially harmed him by costing him some of his other jobs. --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:958634571] in Professor ...

The student that supposedly contacted him wasn't even black. I mean it technically is discrimination. It is discrimination of perceived competency based on race. Imagine being one of these students who took every test normally but graduated with students who didn't, if a potential employer saw you were black, and saw what university you went to, they'd have just reason to infer your degree meant less than the same degree from your white classmates, because the university robbed you of the chance to be judged fairly as a human just like everybody else. Lefties who treat some races like helpless children are being racist. People are people. Humans are humans. Treat them fair. Fight times of unfairness. And don't pretend any race of people is nothing but a helpless puppy you have to patronize. That's fucked up and racist af.

It is a really complex issue however and as an educator I don't think the solution is to make two different tests.

Your interpretation of my post is wrong. It amounts to "he didn't say 'we shouldn't be racist' is anti-academia. He said that anti-academia people repeatedly blow the few stories like this out of proportion to make their point about academia being the downfall of America." Because that's what anti-academia has been doing. There aren't countless" stories of this happening. There are a few. And almost everyone save for the annoying shits that cause these sort of incidents(like the complaining white student) agrees that this is stupid and regressive. Like removing the "racist" rock. It's performative garbage. But it isn't like hundreds of instances. So if you want the "you are wrong" it is here. You are wrong in your understanding of the sentence. Anti-academia blows these things out of proportion and acts like there are hundreds of these incidents happening every year when it's usually one or two a year that they bring up forever.

Unless the test is asking essay questions about "Friends" or "Leave it to Beaver", I don't think it's an issue of the tests being screwed against minorities, I think it's an issue of the education system being skewed against the poor, of which minorities are a sadly large amount.
