As part of its Campus Equity and Inclusion Forums, the enlightened faculty of Western Washington University have decided to host a workshop that aims to “reduce the impact of white privilege on social and academic relations”...because the best way to address racial barriers (real or imagined) is to host a workshop that targets individuals based purely on their race.
The workshop series, highlighted by The College Fix earlier today, will be hosted by history professor Randall Jimerson who presumably has a lot of personal atoning to do for his white skin. Jimerson noted that while the seminar is open to everybody, it’s especially helpful for white folks who need to learn “how to reduce the expression and effects of their white privilege.”
“Most people of color are aware of the existence of ‘white privilege,’ whether or not they have applied this term to the disparity between their experiences and those of white people,” he said via email. “Thus, I assume that the main focus will be on helping white participants to understand, explore, and accept (or reject) the concepts embedded in this phrase.”
“I hope that the conversation will then move to ideas about how to reduce the impact of ‘white privilege’ in our daily interactions with other people, and in our consciousness of race and other socially-constructed concepts.”
