The author writes:
"White liberal college students speak of safe spaces, trigger words, micro aggressions"..."
The reality is that these conversations are often led by students of color. In fact, some of the "safe spaces" in question, explicitly are not open to white students.
It is also complete BS to claim that white students are "unwilling to go to a black neighborhood" as there are countless examples of many white liberal activities doing exactly that. This is in spite of sometimes being made to not feel especially welcome on occasion.
This sentence:
"These same college students will espouse the joys of diversity, but will in the same breath assume you are only on campus because of affirmative action or that all black people grew up in poverty."
Also, total BS. White liberal students do not believe these things. That's something that right-wingers think.
Again, paragraph after paragraph of claims that are just not true (insultingly so).
