A sad day for whitey

The Chronicle's new guest blogger, Marty Nemko, writes about attending a graduation for masters students at SFSU where white men were marginalized, cruelly excluded and made to feel unwanted at their own graduation:
I wondered how the straight white male graduates must have felt. . . I wondered how many, in their heart of hearts, felt sadness or anger at being excluded.
How were white straight men "excluded"? According to Nemko, all of the speakers were minorities -- except, well:
the retiring chair, a white man who said that his vision for the counseling department is to create a program in counseling the incarcerated, disproportionately minority.
Race traitor!  And:
... [a] professor handed out four student awards: three to Latinos and one to a white male who had been transgendered and did his thesis on transgender counseling.
And whites who are queer don't fucking count.

I am bookmarking this guy as I'm sure that more delightful insights are ahead.
