An opinion column on race written for Texas State University’s student newspaper has drawn heavy criticism, including from Denise Trauth, the university’s president, who called it racist, reports a local TV news station.
The opinion column, titled “Your DNA Is an Abomination,” was written by Rudy Martinez for the University Star, and was meant to encourage conversation about white privilege, the author said. “Through a constant, ideological struggle in which we aim to deconstruct ‘whiteness’ and everything attached to it, we will win,” Mr. Martinez wrote. White people can start to define themselves “as something other than the oppressor.”
