âThere were so many students who came into the school with no preparation for the conversation about race or racism. They knew nothing about white privilege and white supremacy,â social policy professor Amy Hillier said.
Itâs a dental school, by the way. For dentists.
It occurs to me that if youâre brandishing the terms âwhite privilegeâ and âwhite supremacy,â and invoking âimplicit biasâ such that the indoctrinated must âcome to understandâ foregone conclusions, it doesnât sound much like a conversation. More a series of begged questions, whereby some people can be deemed guilty or complicit by virtue of their skin colour.
And yet, if you plan to be a dentist and attend the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, it seems you must first submit to condescension and insults, and accusations of being either a bigot or an enabler of bigotry, based solely on unchangeable aspects of your appearance. Because apparently you canât do dentistry without the weird political woo of dogmatic parasites whoâve managed to insert themselves into yet another sphere of life.
