"Whiteness History Month"

"Whiteness History Month", Portland Association College’s Diversity Council said that the activity is a “bold adventure” meant to appraise “race and racism through an analysis of the architecture of whiteness, its origins and heritage.” It is not meant as a “celebratory endeavor” but an “effort to change our campus climate.”

“Whiteness refers to the architecture of the white race, white culture, and the arrangement of privileges and advantages afforded to white people,” a analogue on the school’s accident page reads.

According to NBC, he project, which “seeks to affect avant-garde and applied solutions to association issues and amusing problems that axis from racism,” will claiming its acceptance with questions like:

What is whiteness and how is it socially constructed?

In what means does whiteness appear from a bequest of imperialism, conquest, colonialism and the American enterprise?

Who allowances from the after-effects of whiteness? Who loses from whiteness? How?

What are approaches and strategies to dismantling whiteness?

Already, the activity has fatigued abrogating criticism, with some calling it a “shaming” project.

The school’s acting admiral Sylvia Kelley absolved the criticism, adage there was “no intention, as some may accept feared, to ‘shame or blame’ anyone.”
