Re: “Sucker Punched: Exploring Race and Privilege,” Opinion, Nov. 19

Race expose in my college newspaper? I was skeptical, but intrigued. The author begins her column with a promise to explore the complexities of “white privilege,” but succeeds only in showing and exercising that privilege in a thin and racially-informed (I won’t say racist, because I fear fairer readers will bristle) piece detailing all the ways in which black people can and do behave badly.
