How to Deal with Racism in Ethnic Studies Classes

This entire piece is beyond parody–I kept looking for a tip-off that it was being done tongue in cheek. But my favorite part comes from Wash U. prof who dismisses the liberal bona fides of his racial studies students:

The complaint I receive often, while teaching at a private, elite institution, where many students think they are highly liberal: “I am so tired of thinking, talking, writing about race.” Some go so far as to say they’re experiencing “race fatigue.”

Often my response is flippant: “Imagine how tiring it is being tired of the racist bigotry, prejudice, and unjust treatment within and outside the classroom.”

This is also my opportunity to have my largely white classroom deal with its privilege . . .
