Prof. corrects minority student grammar, is called a racist

[url=http://dailycaller.com/2013/11/26/prof-corrects-minority-students-capitalization-is-accused-of-racism/]Professor corrects minority students capitalization and is accused of racism.[/url] >Racial tensions are inflamed at the University of California at Los Angeles following several incidents — most notably, one where a professor corrected the grammar, punctuation and capitalization in minority students’ assignments. >The act of correcting a black student was “micro-aggression,” according to the members of the student group “Call 2 Action: Graduate Students of Color,” which launched a sit-in during a subsequent meeting of the class. This is absolutely ridiculous.

  • This thread [i]is[/i] absolutely ridiculous. Often when people are accused of being racist they'll try to make it about a singular event. Something that seems minor or innocuous out of context. What the students are actually saying is that there is a climate of racism at the school. This isn't about one single event and trying to make it seem like it is is dishonest.
