The WSO thread mentioned yesterday got better and better. (Don’t tell Dean Roseman! She thinks blogs are bad news.) Best post was by Ryan Harper.

Have you ever been in a class when a “racial issue” came up and you could feel other students eyes shifting ever so slightly, waiting to see what the colored kid’s response is? Or perhaps, on much rarer occasions, the instructor might blatantly ask her for her input. She’s just giving you a chance to defend yourself right? Or is she giving the rest of the class (realistically, more like a few students) a chance to see how ignorant and presumptive their comments are? It’s certainly a close call, but I’m more inclined to think that these little skirmishes aren’t engineered just for me to brush up on my rhetorical abilities to deflect covert racism. We ARE here to educate the white kids. What else is “diversity” supposed to mean?
