An engineering professor at Michigan Technological University Jeffrey B. Burl wrote a letter to the school senate complaining of ongoing discrimination against white males.
Prof. Jeffrey B. Burl calls for an apology, insisting the proposal “implies that white people and local people are racist.”
“American history, culture, institutions and practices are deeply and widely permeated with anti-Blackness and systemic racism” and calls for all students to receive “a sound, education concerning the historical and current manifestations and operations of anti-Blackness and systemic racism in American culture” as a requirement for graduation.
“I find this resolution particularly offensive because I, as a white male, have been systematically discriminated against for 40 years,” Prof. Burl writes, chronicling his experience in an environment that habitually “restricts opportunities for white males.”
“I do not think that the best way to combat racism is with racism!” he states.
“Teaching black people that all white people are racists and should be hated (an implication of your resolution) makes things worse,” he stated.
“Michigan Tech and the local community are good places that welcomes people from all walks of life.”
“There are no white males at Michigan Tech that have ever owned a slave.”
“I, because of being a white male, have suffered this accumulation of disadvantage for 40-plus years,” he declares. “Discrimination in hiring, discrimination in grant allocation, discrimination in advancement, etc.”
The professor noted that Martin Luther King, Jr. “fought for a day when America would be a country of equals — when we would be judged by our merits, no matter the color of our skin, the religion we profess, or the place we were born.”
“At first, I hesitated to write this letter for fear of retaliation. Since this is an important issue to humanity and Michigan Tech, I decided to make these comments anyway. I fully expect to experience retaliation associated with bringing these facts to light.”
