 Black Ivy League student claims ‘trauma’ after white professor refuses to acknowledge privilege

A black University of Pennsylvania student recently declared that his fall semester at the Ivy League institution was “traumatic” because he had three white professors who refused to acknowledge their privilege, and one scholar in particular who “constantly perpetuated these systems of oppression … [that] led to me mentally breaking down in the classroom.”

Student James Fisher wrote about his experience earlier this month in an op-ed in the Daily Pennsylvanian campus newspaper.

In it, Fisher opens by saying: “Last semester was honestly the worst semester I’ve had at Penn so far. And all because of one thing: the white professors I’ve had at Penn. It appears that the term ‘privilege’ does not apply to them. Nor do they care to learn what it is.”

The only "privilege" being exercised in this case is that of general accusation against another person based upon the color of their skin.

I am certain that the shame of such treatment is lost on the perpetrator, who of course believes himself to be a victim.
