This kind of thinking terrifies me:<p>&#62; Not content to limit speech, the program also informed resident assistants that “all whites are racists” and that it was the university’s job to heal them<p>But it doesn't terrify me for the reason it would terrify most people. Me, I'm pretty international, from what I know of genetics I'd actually prefer to have mixed blood and bi-cultural children.<p>So why am I terrified? Because this kind of nonsense is really the only way that a vicious white nationalism could make a comeback. It's been thoroughly beaten down, but you could generate a hell of a backlash if you kept up with this kind of "all whites are racist" (direct quote!) type stuff.<p>Really, I think we need to put all forms of nationalism down. White nationalism, yes, but also various fanatical patriotism, religious nationalism, and other forms of racial nationalism - including amongst minorities. This isn't a popular opinion right now, but I think encouraging people to make their skin color part of their identity is likely to lead to adversarial relations.<p>I understand the historical reasons and practical considerations on why it can be beneficial. But at some point you've got to take the high road and stop playing that card, lest you risk resurrecting white nationalism, which certainly wouldn't be a good thing.<p>At the very very least, cut out the "white people are the enemy" thing - the vast majority of educated whites in Western democracies are very open minded, accommodating, and even go a little out of their way to look out for people from tougher backgrounds. The only thing that could be done to screw that up is repeatedly ostracize them... which is exactly the strategy some people are taking. Seems like a very bad idea to me, on pretty much all levels.
