Ironically, Cinco de Mayo as a celebration of Mexican culture is an "American" thing.
To Mexicans, it's just the commemoration of a particular battle against French invaders.
IOW: Mexicans are probably all, like, "¿Quéfuq? Loco gringos ..."

University of Hawaii Professor Demands White Men Quit Their Jobs
https://heatst.com/culture-wars/univ...it-their-jobs/
A University of Hawaii math professor has urged every white man to quit their job or take a demotion and deemed those who disagree with her proposition as racist, sexist and transphobic.
Piper Harron, an assistant professor at the University of Hawaii who holds a PhD degree in mathematics from Princeton University, has penned an article for the American Mathematical Society (AMS) blog, calling on white men to “Get Out The Way”.
“Not to alarm you, but I probably want you to quit your job, or at least take a demotion,” Harron wrote, adding that “Statistically speaking, you are probably taking up room that should go to someone else.”
“If you are a white cis man (meaning you identify as male and you were assigned male at birth) you almost certainly should resign from your position of power,” the professor added.
Harron went on to suggest that if quitting is “too difficult”, white men should “at least get off your hiring committee your curriculum committee, and make sure you’re replaced by a woman of color or trans person.”
On the “About the Editors” page, Harron is described as someone who “tried really hard to play by the rules of society and academia, but she failed. Not only did she fail, but she was miserable and found that playing by the rules wouldn’t even keep her safe.
“She officially got her degree from Princeton University in January 2016, and is currently a Temporary Assistant Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She dedicates her work to everyone who dabbles in misery, trying to find their way in systems that don’t support them, and to anyone trying to tear it all down. ”
The Hawaii University professor continued her bizarre rant on the mathematics blog, claiming that while sexism is prevalent in society, it’s much easier to achieve “equality” at universities:
What can universities do? Well, that’s easier. Stop hiring white cismen (except as needed to get/retain people who are not white cis men) until the problem goes away. If you think this is a bad or un-serious idea, your sexism/racism/transphobia is showing.
Heat Street has approached the AMS, but did not hear back by the publication time.

This thread serves as an excellent reminder that the (supposed) virtue of the oppressed is a fairy tale.
If these (supposedly) "oppressed" morons ever came into power whites would end up mightily regretting ever allowing it to happen, even the ones that are useful idiots. That much is certain. Right now their whining and bitching amounts to "suggestions" because they lack power. God forbid they ever acquire real power.

Minority students feel ‘marginalized’ by historic building’s ‘imposing, masculine’ paneling
https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/32596/
Some minority students at the University of Michigan have apparently felt intimidated by the interior wood paneling found throughout the historic Michigan Union building.
Anna Wibbelman, former president of Building a Better Michigan, an organization that voices student concerns about university development, stated at a student government meeting in late March that “minority students felt marginalized by quiet, imposing masculine paneling” found throughout the 100-year-old building, the meeting’s minutes state.
Current president of Building a Better Michigan, Jazz Teste, stated that Wibbelman’s comment wasn’t necessarily about the wood paneling.
“I believe it was an off-hand comment about how many students felt marginalized by the quiet nature of the building when they entered,” she told The College Fix via email.
UCLA Hiring Student ‘Social Justice Advocates’ to Fight Against ‘Whiteness’ and ‘Patriarchy’
https://heatst.com/culture-wars/ucla...nd-patriarchy/
The University of Arizona isn’t the only institution to hop aboard the social justice bandwagon with official positions for social justice warriors. The prestigious University of California-Los Angeles, is joining the ranks, announcing plans to hire students to function as “Social Justice Advocates” to combat “whiteness,” “heteronormativity” and “the patriarchy.”
The publicly-funded university has announced plans to pay 8 to 10 students (with taxpayer dollars) to hold official “Social Justice Advocate” positions in the upcoming semester. First reported on Campus Reform, these so-called advocates will — according to the university administration’s official job posting — guide peers to “navigate a world that operates primarily on whiteness, patriarchy, and heteronormativity as the primary ideologies.”
Advocates will receive quarterly stipends (the amount is still to be determined) for helping to “educate” other students about “systems of oppression.” The program’s stated goal is to make UCLA a “more equitable space for all students and communities.”
It’s not stated whether these social justice advocates will be expected to snitch on fellow students for “bias incidents”, as is in the case at the University of Arizona.
The Social Justice Advocates program, which receives official funding from UCLA’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, through the Bruin Excellence & Student Transformation Grant Program, describes the position as follows:
The Social Justice Advocates initiative aims to empower students by developing them as conscious and critical leaders and equipping them with cultural and political capital as they navigate a world that operates on whiteness, patriarchy, and heteronormativity as the primary ideologies.
Social Justice Advocates will learn about systems oppression and how they intersect and build upon one another maintain the status quo. Most importantly individuals and the collective will be empowered through liberatory scholarship and practices and strengthening their emotional intelligence to create change within their spheres of influence.
Social Justice Advocates will educate their peers on how they can make UCLA a more equitable space for all students and communities.
The application on the website requests that applicants enter their gender pronouns, including unconventional suggestions such as “zi” and “hir”—terms recently embraced by Google. Interested students are encouraged to tell UCLA what areas of social justice they’re passionate about, and how they’d like to contribute to the program.
The new program follows the creation of a series of UCLA workshops promoting social justice, one of which addresses “Social Justice Myths” like “reverse racism.” A workshop titled “All Aboard the Struggle Bus” teaches that minority students face struggles in “unfathomable numbers.” There has never been a better time to be a victim.
One workshop, “Politics of Love & Desire,” claims that ideals of beauty are “based on Eurocentric standards,” and the race of the individuals we choose to have romantic relationships with “hold political connotations whether we like it or not.”
Earlier today, the Afrikan [sic] Student Union at UCLA issued an ultimatum to the university demanding a $40 million endowment, free housing and the creation of mandatory “safe spaces” on campus, to compensate them for “racially insensitive incidents” such as the white student body president making a gang sign.
Just shoot me.

Black UCLA students demand 'safe spaces,' $40 million
http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9196
The UCLA Afrikan Student Union has issued an 8-point ultimatum demanding "safe spaces," a $40 million endowment, and even guaranteed free housing for black students.
The group claims UCLA has done "nothing" for minority students in recent years, citing several instances of racial insensitivity, including a photo of the student body president flashing a gang sign.
Black students at the University of California, Los Angeles are demanding $40 million and their own “safe spaces” on campus as compensation for racially insensitive incidents.
“Black students at UCLA are consistently made the targets of racist attacks by fellow students, faculty, and administration [sic],” the Afrikan Student Union (ASU) begins an eight-point ultimatum issued Friday. “Unfortunately, on April 30, 2017, a photo was released depicting the USAC [student government] President holding gang signs.
The open letter goes on to cite additional examples, including “racist stickers” and a “Kanye Western” themed party, and declares that “since nothing has been done in recent years, the Afrikan Student Union is DEMANDING that UCLA administrators work with black students towards the development of a more positive campus climate.”
The first item on the list calls for “a physical location on campus to house the Afrikan Student Union Projects,” which would include “meeting/gathering/safe spaces” and be staffed by a director and an office manager who would be responsible for distributing funds allocated to the ASU.
In addition, the ASU ultimatum demands a $40 million “endowment” to fund “a comprehensive effort to address the underrepresentation of African-American students, faculty, and staff at our university,” adding that the endowment should also provide financial aid to “dismissed black students.”
“$40 million is just a drop in the bucket for the university,” ASU Chair Alicia Frison told The Daily Bruin. “Berkeley already has a $30 to $40 million endowment even though they have less [sic] African American students.”
The list goes on to ask that UCLA “deliver an anti-discrimination policy [that] assuages discriminatory and offensive behavior,” specifically “culturally insensitive” behavior, in conjunction with implementing mandatory “Cultural Awareness training” for all incoming students, faculty and staff members, and campus police officers.
“All will be required to have the training at least once in their time at UCLA,” the letter clarifies, adding ominously that “this will be supplemented with repercussions explicitly in the policy.”
The next few items relate to retention and recruitment of black students, requesting a “Black Student Financial Aid Officer” and access to “disaggregated data for African American students enrolled on [sic] UCLA,” meaning the academic performance of black students would be evaluated independently of data collected from the rest of the student body.
In addition, the group wants UCLA to create a “special admissions” program to admit “a limited number of students fitting certain alternative admissions criteria,” who would then undergo a “transitional period” before being “integrated [into the] regular admitted student population., courses, and curricular programs.”
On a more individualized level, the ultimatum also demands the creation of at least five “fully funded student positions,” but while it does not offer any indication of what those jobs would entail, it goes into exquisite detail regarding compensation, specifying that the student-employees should receive “bi-weekly salaries of at least $15/hour (adjusted for inflation) equipped for 30 weeks of the school year every year.”
Finally, the ASU is insisting that UCLA provide “guaranteed housing for black students for 4 years, including on- and off-campus housing,” arguing that securing housing is especially difficult for black students due to factors such as “low socio-economic status, difficulty of navigating the first generation college experience, and difficulties remaining financially stable amidst the rising living costs in Westwood.”
Hanna Almalssi, a black student who serves as the freshman representative for the Bruin Democrats, told Campus Reform that she fully supports the demands made by the ASU.
“All their demands should be met,” Almalssi said. “UCLA should be doing more to support people of color because it seems like they don’t do enough.”
Yet while ASU’s demands allege that UCLA has done “nothing” to help minorities in recent years, a statement sent out by a university spokesman suggested otherwise.
“We are proud of the fact that enrollment of minority incoming students at UCLA has risen by nearly 13% since 2012,” the statement said, adding that the school has taken numerous steps to reduce discrimination on campus during that time.
my university had one of those stupid "minority only" spaces as well
