Racist Princeton Professor accuses Indian students yelling racial slurs of "acting white."

Nell Irvin Painter

You have to really, really hate white people to believe this and state it in print.

While it’s tempting to see the reported ethnicity of the boys suspected in the assault as complicating the story and raising questions about whether the assault should be thought of as racist, I look at it through a different lens. Instead of asking what the boys’ reported racial identity tells us about the nature of the attack, we should see the boys as enacting American whiteness through anti-black assault in a very traditional way. In doing so, the assailants are demonstrating how race is a social construct that people make through their actions. They show race in the making, and show how race is something we perform, not just something we are in our blood or in the color of our skin.”-Dr. Nell Irvin Painter

Do racists like this ever reflect on their sickness in the dark of the night?
