This is well past the point of being comical....

Eurocentrism in academia has always been a topic of debate.

This is just a bastardized, unintelligable form of that same argument. Best not to pay it any mind

That poor bitch. Someone get her a tissue.

Sad part is they weren't always like this. It was fed to them through whatever circles they hang out in, they gobbled it up, injected even more shitty lunacy into the concept, and are now spewing this bile because they're desperate or attention or to feel like they matter.

If reading stories traumatized you because you found out it was written by a white guy... Good fucking luck in life.

White people are awesome, I can't see why they hates us. We did so much good in the world.

Julius Cesar he was a black dude from namibia.

If "reading a book by a white person" has traumatized her, she's going to be an emotional wreck when she leaves university and enters the real world.

“It’s traumatizing to sit in Core classes,” she said. “We are looking at history through the lens of these powerful, white men. I have no power or agency as a black woman, so where do I fit in?”

And 99.99999% of white people had no power or agency in that history either...

Why can't we just abandon these kinds of people to their inevitable failure instead of trying to help them?

A massive chunk of modern era history is white history. Check out many of the inventions and the economic statistics by region of the last few hundred years.

Now she needs to pick up a book and read African history hell just this century alone with the genocide will traumatize the weak

[Iamanerd]

More fucking pussies, I really hope this is a damn joke. Remember folks when in doubt rub one out!

It'll be interesting to see how all these kids handle stepping into leadership or management roles when their competitors or opponents don't play by trigger free and safe space rules.

These people are the future of your country, good luck, i truly do wish you good luck.
You people need all the luck you can get.

The accounts of the Rwandan and Sudanese genocides are enough to legitimately traumatize anybody. Horrific accounts.

It has to be, i mean, they tried to equate this "racism" issue to another student being 'triggered' by reading vivid descriptions of rape and sexual abuse as if that was somehow tied to racism?

Aya attributed some of her academic troubles to the trauma of having to take Columbia’s current Core Curriculum, which requires students to take a series of six classes with a focus on the culture and history of Western, European civilization. Aya says this focus on the West was highly mentally stressful for her.


“It’s traumatizing to sit in Core classes,” she said. “We are looking at history through the lens of these powerful, white men. I have no power or agency as a black woman, so where do I fit in?”

I don't.....what? I mean......what?

IT'S FREAKING HISTORY!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO THE HELL IS TELLING THE STORY AS LONG AS IT'S FACTUALLY ACCURATE!!!! AND YOU LIVE IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION THAT'S BEEN HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY WHITE PEOPLE!! GET OVER IT!!

This is one of those stories that I hope is made up. >.>

The history of modern society, science and humanism is also history of the white man. The entire world would still be stuck in the middle ages at best without the Western culture's innovations and influence.

And some people just can't deal with it, being apparently unable to accept or understand historical facts. History's most significant scientists and inventors were white men; so what? Does that somehow make non-whites feel inferior, despite of the fact that the individuals in question were always very few, and that most of the other white people would also have been unable to invent the same things on their own? I sure wouldn't have invented modern physics like Newton, Hooke and others did.

However, if you are trying to twist or deny historical facts to make things look better for your political ideology, that makes you a worthless, morally inferior worm and a despicable, sub-human piece of shit in all possible aspects, regardless of your color.
