Duke professor blames white men for white female professors impersonating women of color
2020-11-01
[College Fix] There’s really nothing in this world the regressive left won’t blame on white men. Not even white women passing themselves off as black, Hispanic or American Indian (ahem).

The latest Caucasian outed as something she’s allegedly not — the Mexican-political identity "Chicana" — is Kelly Kean Sharp of Furman University in South Carolina.

An anonymous person from her past at the University of California-Davis wrote a Medium post that said the professor of African American history never identified this way in grad school, but had started doing so on Twitter.

The author got in touch with Sharp’s other acquaintances, who quizzed her on her ancestry, and she claimed her grandmother was from Mexico. They did some genealogical digging and learned her grandmother was born in ... Los Angeles! She never left the U.S. that they could find.

Sharp also claimed her hometown of Encinitas, California, was "majority-minority." Wrong! they decreed — Encinitas is as white as a Wilco concert, as Queen Latifah once quipped.
True

#17  Zimmerman was labelled a white Latino or white hispanic or something along those lines.

He had a convenient last name.

#15  Geo. Zimmerman is/was also a registered Democrat, IIRC.

I'll never forget NBC editing or not playing certain portions of his 9-1-1 call. MSM is just sick. F'in sick.

#14  Wait...
George Zimmerman (shot Trayvon Martin in Florida) was hispanic, but got labeled as 'anglo'.
I'm So Confused...

#13  The same people who claim a man or women can identify as the opposite gender are against people identifying as another race? If gender is a social construct isn't race?

#11  We should have spanked them more. Our bad.

#10  Since we white men can apparently do anything, the sensible thing is to put us in charge of everything.

I'm just following the left's logic to its natural conclusion here.

#9  /\ Gee, what's a person right out of college with a Bachelor's degree with that major going to rake in? They'd better hope they raise the minimum wage.

#5  The Duke University cultural anthropologist Christine Folch is a great example of why there must be annual Mental/Emotional Health Checks, and a strict requirement that all Media related comments made, which would include the Schools name, be cleared prior to release.

Plus Tenure should not be for life.
It should have clear requirements that must be maintained and reviewed for adherence.
