White people are dumb and need to be less white

Penn state sociology prof tells students 'white people are dumb' and to 'be less white'.
noseeemsays...

not going to research this for you, but there is no way of telling what the professor is referring to. he is being serious? facetious? it's like walking into the middle of a conversation, with no reference point.

no points for the very short video with no subsistent context, nor the attempt to poison the well.

dude. please.

If that was said about blacks it would be racist and the peaceful democrats would be burning American cities again.

I 100% agree with @noseeem. With no context this hacked together edit is totally meaningless. He is actually more likely to be pointing out the ridiculousness of that argument than seriously arguing it, but it's impossible to tell from your newsjunkie propaganda. They are well known for creating paper tigers for your ilk to slay.

Also, Goddamnit man, think for yourself, don't plagiarize other people's comments from YouTube and try to pass them off as your own thoughts. Some guy named Weldon Bynum wrote that, not you. Holy shit!

Maybe Bob IS Weldon Bynum?

Just a passing thought, nothing constructive to add.

Love the anger quote. Mark Twain, you say? You sure? :-)

Oh I could not resist. The vaults of youtube stupidity and offhand reactions are rich on this one, to the point of being blandly monotonous. Marxist! Defund! Paid for by our taxes!
Nowhere is his name mentioned, so the edited video could be debunked easily.

Even from this artificially short excerpt it is easy to see that in the first half he is describing not his own views but those of Coca Cola corporatespeak. In the second half he is explaining what Coca Cola means by that shit.

Nowhere does he add his own views on the matter at hand, so he could well be trying to warn the world that Coca Cola is doing it wrong. Or vice versa. Except someone edited out the facts and meaning and left just trollfood.

It is a legitimate thing to ask of white people, to be less "white" and more "people". We tend to not acknowledge that we do have an advantage in our part of the world.

Why this is only asked of white people is what beats me. No one is asking the Japanese in Japan or the Chinese in China or the Koreans in South Korea or the Saudis in Saudialand to be more inclusive or care at all about the sad fate of non-locally sourced humans. Granted the Japanese get a bye because they are quietly polite about the whole "no foreigners welcome" thing.

Could it be that white people are not more or less racist than other local majorities, it just so happens that (admittedly some) white people are willing to acknowledge our own racism might be a problem?

Actually what really gets me is how North Koreans manage to be racial supremacists in the face of their everyday reality.

Maybe because all those nations are NOT "melting pots", nations largely created from those discarded by or unwelcome in other nations.

No other country has assimilation and integration as main features of their culture.

for the most part, the people of china, japan, korea, and saudi arabia are native to those places, not invaders who often committed genocide to take control of those places and resources. there have also long been outcries to how they deal with foreigners, we just don't hear about it since we don't live there and aren't part of that media bubble. their attempts at monoculture have presented them with a variety of different issues and existential threats, japan probably suffering the most acutely right now.

who knows? if it's old enough, it's a trail of reference sources. sure, Lucius Annaeus Seneca (Seneca the Younger) is credited as the source but maybe Twain quoted him, w/o citing the source, orally and anyone listening might (first time hearing it) believe it's his baby.*

true story: once had a friend that decided that they were changing their operatus morandi. repurpose the direction of their life. even came up w/a a personal motto that all us - family and friends - were to hold her to it.

"just do it!"

the next week the Nike ads began.

leave it to y'all to imagine what we did w/that.
