💢 White Supremacists on Campus: Unprecedented Recruitment Efforts Underway💢

White supremacists are engaged in unprecedented outreach efforts on American college campuses – another sign that these hate groups feel emboldened by the current political climate.

Throughout the 2016-17 school year, students, faculty and staff on 110 American college campuses were confronted by 159 incidents of racist fliers and stickers, as well as numerous on-campus appearances by white supremacists and several rounds of anti-Semitic, racist faxes and emails.

White supremacists are mobilizing in hopes of translating their online activism to “real world” action, and campuses – and young people – are prime targets, in part because they are still figuring out who they are, and what they believe.  Extremists also undoubtedly see value in recruiting a new generation that can carry the movement for years to come.

Longtime white supremacist Jared Taylor recently wrote on his website, American Renaissance, that colleges are of special interest “because they are bastions of anti-white propaganda.” Before he imploded publicly in February, Islamaphobic and misogynist gadfly Milo Yiannopoulos told CNN, “I am speaking on college campuses because education … is really what matters. It’s a crucible where these bad ideas are formed. Bad ideas like … progressive social justice, feminists, Black Lives Matter…”

Sophie Corcoran fumes at Durham University's 'anti-white racism'

 

Durham University's department of mathematical sciences has published a guide on ‘decolonisation’, urging academics to ensure their teaching is "more inclusive" and not dominated by a Eurocentric view on the world. 

The guide advisers lecturers to: "Consider giving short biographies of the mathematicians whose work you present in your modules. If in doing so you realise that they are almost entirely (or even completely) white and/or male, ask yourself why this is. 

 "See if you can find contributions to the field from mathematicians of other genders/ethnicities."

 Kevin O'Sullivan picks over the findings with Durham student and political commentator Sophie Corcoran.

Florida university reportedly denies student mental health access because he is White

 

A student at the University of South Florida (USF) was reportedly denied mental health services because he was not a member of the black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) community, according to communications obtained by Campus Reform. 

Andrew Davis wanted to attend an "Understanding Self and Others" (USO) group therapy meeting, but he realized that none of the sessions worked with his schedule. Because of this, he asked USF's counseling center if he could attend the BIPOC meeting as it was the only time he could attend, but the university informed him this wasn't allowed. 

CORNELL'S ‘BIPOC-ONLY' ROCK-CLIMBING COURSE OPENED TO WHITE STUDENTS AFTER RACISM CLAIMS

"I am interested in attending a USO group meeting after completing the pre-group appointment but the only day/time that works for me is Wednesdays during the BIPOC students-only group," Davis inquired in an email. "I am not a BIPOC student but was wondering if I would still be able to attend?"

"Unfortunately, we do need to keep this space specific to BIPOC folks ... Hopefully you’ll be able to catch another one either during Winter break and/or next semester," the USF Counseling Center said in response.

On Oct. 5 2022, Davis filed a complaint with USF'S Office of Compliance & Ethics, eventually receiving a response on Feb. 8 of this year, according to Campus Reform.

Starbucks deberá pagar US$ 25,6 millones a una empleada que dice que la despidieron por ser blanca

 

Un jurado falló este lunes a favor de la exdirectora regional de Starbucks Shannon Phillips, quien demandó a la empresa por despedirla injustamente, argumentando que lo hicieron por ser blanca.

Phillips, quien trabajó para Starbucks durante unos 13 años y dirigió una región de tiendas en la zona, fue despedida tras la detención de dos hombres negros en un Starbucks de Filadelfia, en abril de 2018.

El jurado de Nueva Jersey emitió un veredicto de US$ 25,6 millones, incluidos US$ 25 millones por concepto de daños punitivos y US$ 600.000 en daños compensatorios, según Console Mattiacci Law, que representa a Phillips. El jurado falló por unanimidad tras un juicio de seis días, dijeron los abogados, señalando que Phillips también reclamará salarios atrasados y anticipados.

Starbucks ha manifestado su decepción por la decisión y está evaluando los pasos a seguir, según declaró la portavoz de la empresa, Jaci Anderson, a CNN.

Across The Spider-Verse Is Now A Banned Movie

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will not be released in the United Arabian Emirates. As reported by Arabian Business, the hotly anticipated Spidey sequel did not pass the country's censorship requirements. The film's deviation from the UAE's local values pushed it out of its June 22 release date in the country.

Many speculate that it was just one shot in Across the Spider-Verse that tripped the UAE censors. In a shot of Gwen Stacy in her bedroom, a Transgender Pride Flag can be seen on the wall that reads: "Protect Trans Kids.”.

The UAE remains officially intolerant of the LGBTQ+ community. Though many claim that life in the country is not as harsh as the UAE's laws may make it seem, the government's stance on the LGBTQ+ community remains. Anyone in the UAE who bought a ticket to Across the Spider-Verse will be issued a full refund.

Other than the Trans Flag, there is little else in Across the Spider-Verse that might give UAE censors pause. There are no openly gay characters in the film, and its violence and language are well within the MPAA's parameters for a PG movie in the United States. Still, the film is one of the most diverse superhero outings ever put to the screen.

Across the Spider-Verse includes the return of Miles Morales, the half-black, half-Latino Spider-Man from Brooklyn, Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman, and the middle-aged new father, Peter B. Parker.
