A University of Hawaii assistant math professor who holds a PhD degree in mathematics from Princeton University has a new racist equation she wants to promote: white + man + job = her order for white males to quit or be demoted.
Piper Harron wrote on a blog for the American Mathematical Society (AMS), titling her piece, “Get Out The Way.”
Harron began with her demand:
Not to alarm you, but I probably want you to quit your job, or at least take a demotion. Statistically speaking, you are probably taking up room that should go to someone else. If you are a white cis man (meaning you identify as male and you were assigned male at birth) you almost certainly should resign from your position of power.
If that didn’t suffice, there was more: “Get off your hiring committee, your curriculum committee, and make sure you’re replaced by a woman of color or trans person … Remember that you live in a world where people don’t succeed in a vacuum; most success happens on the backs of others who did not consent. You have no idea how successful you would have been if you were still you, but with an additional marginalization (not white, or not male, or not cis gender, or with a disability, etc).”
After some endless ranting about needs of non-traditional families, Harron paused for a moment to snarl:
Ask yourself who benefits when your sexist society views (“traditional”) marriage as sacred. Ask yourself how we’d talk about marriage and divorce if women were allowed to be. I’m convinced that mixed in with the homophobia that propelled conservatives to suddenly want government all up in our personal lives was misogyny that said it just isn’t “marriage” if you don’t have one man (ruling) and one woman (being ruled).
Then the advice for universities:
What can universities do? Well, that’s easier. Stop hiring white cis men (except as needed to get/retain people who are not white cis men) until the problem goes away. If you think this is a bad or un-serious idea, your sexism/racism/transphobia is showing … When the applications come in, remember society makes dominant applicants look better than they are. Society makes marginalized applicants look worse than they are. There is no objectivity. There is no meritocracy.
Harron concluded:
I know you’re not going to quit your job, but I want you to understand that you should. And to understand that by keeping your job and your other unearned privileges, you are running a continued debt to marginalized people and you should always be seeking ways to pay us back. Not to alarm you, but statistically speaking you are the problem. Your very presence. I can’t tell you what is the best strategy for you to stop blocking my path. I can just ask that you please get out of my way.
On the “About the Editors” page, Harron’s bio states that she “tried really hard to play by the rules of society and academia, but she failed. Not only did she fail, but she was miserable and found that playing by the rules wouldn’t even keep her safe … She dedicates her work to everyone who dabbles in misery, trying to find their way in systems that don’t support them, and to anyone trying to tear it all down. ”
The answer is simple but unlikely to be implemented for obvious reasons: let her have her way. All white men should immediately resign from their positions, collect whatever pensions they have earned and watch the institution fail.
ReplyDeleteWhat a racist dirt bag piece of shit asshole.

ReplyDeleteThis is how the KKK was BORN --- White CARPETBAGGERS (George Soros, the Clintons & Liberals) instigating the ignorant freed slaves to commit crimes and assault White People. George Soros' DANCING DARKIES ....... Hardly anyone, even southerners, understand that racism in the South originated in the horrors that were inflicted on the South during the Reconstruction era that followed the military defeat of the Confederacy. The North inflicted blacks on southerners in ways that harmed prospects for relations between the races and gave rise to the KKK as a resistance movement. As Reconstruction faded, so did the KKK. It was later revived as a shadow of its former self by poor whites who were ambitious for personal power.
ReplyDelete"white privilege" is CHILD ABUSE ..... is is a deliberate attack on the self image of children.
ReplyDelete"SJW" spreading the White privilege" MYTH are bullies and mind rapists who use their position of "authority" to create Low Self Esteem, and Negative Self Worth in the minds of those entrusted to their care. They are deliberately damaging your children. These SJW's are the "kin" of priests and athletic coaches who use their positions of "authority" to sexually assault their wards and SJWs also belong in prison. Those who promote this HATE-message are Passive Aggressive cancers attacking the Healthy Life cells around them. Any "professor" spouting this "mind rape" should be hung off their Ivory Tower.
""bla bla bla what an outrage etc.""
ReplyDeletey'alls are giving her too much credit. she may be an assistant professor of mathematics but she appears to be somewhat lacking in constructing sentences together. plus her apparent personal views are seemingly abhorrent. no one is going to take her seriously, especially scholars of mathematics who might be readers of the American Mathematics Society blog.
Also remember, that this took place in Hawaii, a state where white people only make up 26% of the population and where there is systematic government discrimination against the" haole", a derogatory term for white people equivalent to the N word
ReplyDeleteTime to start taking these morons to task for what they say. If you substitute black for white and male for female in what these idiots spew they would be fired in an instant and in front of a judge ASAP and that they are not is an absolute disgrace.
