Sacrificed on the Altar of “Racial Equity”: Reflections of a Canceled Professor
Well, you've got my sympathy here but there's an original sin that opened the door for all the rest to walk in, and I'm surprised you indulged in it.
"Ethnic studies?" What does that mean? Everyone--*everyone*--has an ethnicity. Comes from a rich cultural heritage. Many of us have at least two cultural heritages that have informed every aspect of our lives.
It used to annoy me, in the drug stores, seeing that aisle of "ethnic" hair care products and the seizure of that word for narrow and exclusionary definitional purposes.
I'm only a HS graduate but I knew this was a problem, a long time ago, for foundational reasons. Why wuz you smart people sleeping?
