OK, may be FIRE had a little bit to do with it.
I'm just glad to know that I am no longer a Racist by definition.
Oh Wait... The University didn't actually say that. They said:
While I believe that recent press accounts misrepresent the purpose of the residential life program at the University of Delaware, there are questions about its practices that must be addressed and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled. It is not feasible to evaluate these issues without a full and broad-based review.
I'm not quite sure how you misrepresent a quote like this though:
"A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. 'The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination."
That doesn't seem to leave much open for interpretation.
University of Delaware, Racism
