Eurocentric subjects like science?

Universities across Britain might be causing psychological distress to black students because they’re forced to learn about mostly white Europeans, the National Union of Students (NUS) leader has said.

NUS president Malia Bouattia, herself a black woman of Algerian heritage, believes that as most higher education is based on “Eurocentric” subjects, non-white undergraduates end up lagging behind.

So if I took a black studies course, a women's studies class, or a History of Native Americans and outperformed my peers, would that also be psychologically distressing to my fellow students? Would it be evidence of white male privilege?

Or -- maybe -- it could be evidence that I had taken the course seriously enough to read the assigned books and do the assigned work.    I don't need to "relate" to learn.

I am in favor of everyone stepping outside their comfort zone when it comes to education. That's the whole fucking point of higher education: to be exposed to and challenged by ideas and viewpoints not your own, to learn how (not what) to think. But I loathe the ideological games people play with the curriculum, and I don't buy the idea that universities have to gear their offerings to a demographic breakdown of their students.

I also recall reading that whites are less likely to go to university than ethnic minorities, but remember kids, they are always the victims. It won't be long until we are teaching white kids to apologise for their heritage.

We could disguise some historical figures in blackface. That would make them feel better, right? Copernicus in blackface?
