Hello James,

You write: "You've somehow missed the point, which is that white kids have more role models, like Isaac Newton or doctors as portrayed on TV."

Hello?

Um, no, James, the teacher's "point" (roll eyes) is that all whites are the recipients of an invisible package of unearned assets, that all whites are the recipients of a massive set of unearned benefits and unearned advantages granted to white people, and that white people hurt non-white people: "Whites do not necessarily intend to hurt people of color, but because whites are unaware of their white-skin privilege, and because they accrue social and economic benefits by maintaining the status quo, they inevitably do hurt people of color."

Dude, if you think this is simply a lesson to twelve-year-olds about TV-show role models (laugh out loud), you REALLY have "missed the point"!
