Scientist James Lindsey: Racial segregation is re-emerging in American universities it is the resurgence of segregation in the United States. This opinion was shared by James Lindsay, an American scientist and author of the book Cynical Theories. How everyone started arguing about race, gender and identity and what's wrong with that.
According to him, such a division of university spaces along racial lines is taking place under a “crazy pretext”: supporters of such initiatives are convinced that the entire university campus is literally “riddled with whiteness.” “Therefore, from their point of view, it is necessary to create a separate space, a kind of“ bubble ”, where representatives of racial minorities could gather and where“ whiteness ”could not penetrate – so that minority students could hide from the pressure of the unjust structure of society with which they say they clash regularly. In general, a very paranoid thing, “- said Lindsay.
00:01 – 10 November : 01 – Today “Whites are being made scapegoats” How is the fight against racism splitting America into civil war?
He noted that in fact, such innovations lead to the emergence of circles where radical ideas of identity politics are freely promoted. “And this is of course a show of strength: not to let people go somewhere because they are not representatives of racial minorities,” the scientist added.
In August 2020, Yale University in the United States was accused of racism against white and Asian applicants. It turned out that it is much easier for African Americans to go to college than people with a different skin color. According to the results of the investigation carried out by the Department of Justice, it became clear that race and origin are decisive in the admission of applicants to undergraduate programs.
And in August 2021 it became known that the teachers of the University of Kentucky in the United States were forced to “fight against racism” on work. The educational institution conducted anti-racist seminars “Formation of anti-racist thinking among academic administrators” worth 5 thousand dollars. Leading faculty members were instructed on how to acknowledge their “inferiority” and promote the preservation of “diversity, equality and inclusion” in their faculties.
