George Washington University Study Guide: Only Whites Are Racist


As Paul Mirengoff writes at Power Line, the study guide for one class reads:

Prejudice + Power = Racism

* Racism, however, requires institutional power

* In the U.S. white people alone hold the institutional power to discriminate on the basis of race

* Political power (representation, law, judges)

* Economic (wealth, income, banks, CEOs)

* Social (media, representation, culture norms)

Given that perspective, it is not surprising that earlier this year the school’s newspaper reported that history majors at George Washington University would no longer be required to take a course in American history in order to graduate. Katrin Schultheiss, the GWU history department chair, said that decision was made due to “enrollment pressures.”
