The United States is a racially sensitive country, and many people of color still face barriers like the “glass ceiling” in some fields; however, in order to eliminate such barriers, over-operation can also face trouble. Cornell University has been “discriminated against” and even accused of restoring segregation.
Cornell University offers a rock climbing class in the spring semester, but the name of the course is “BIPOC Rock Climbing”, which means that the course is exclusively for people of color (BIPOC).
The course has been criticized by some on the Internet as “disgustingly racist” and discriminatory against white students, who make up only 41% of Cornell’s student body, even though they make up 76% of the U.S. population.
It has also been argued that the creation of such courses highlights how “toxic” Critical Race Theory is pervasive in institutions of higher learning; it argues that racism is “inherent” in all institutions and that whites are being discriminated against through this theory. The theory is that racism is “inherent” in all institutions and that whites are ensuring their political and economic dominance through this invisible mindset.
Some people also questioned whether Cornell University was “more of a white and colored watering hole” and even said, “I didn’t know that Cornell liked Jim Crow”; these are symbols of early segregation in America, but in essence, discrimination against African-Americans. These were symbols of early segregation in America, but in essence, discrimination against African-Americans.
After this story came to light, the course remained “BIPOC Rock Climbing,” but with a note that it was “open to all Cornell students who wish to learn ‘about rock climbing in this specific topic. Open”. A spokesperson for Cornell University said the course is not limited to ethnicity, but rather focuses on specific topics; however, faculty said it is unlikely that white students would take such a course.
