Some people have entirely too much time on their hands
(Daily Caller)  Oregon State University will host a workshop next week that will explain to students how ordering a coffee at Starbucks involves “implicit biases that contribute to injustice†and connects to the “recent killings of black men†by white cops.
The Jan. 19 workshop entitled “Making the Unknown Known: Exploring Implicit Bias in Everyday Life†is part of a nine-day Martin Luther King celebration at the school, reports Campus Reform.
“What do the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Fair Housing Act in late June, recent killings of black men by White [sic] police officers, and a person ordering coffee at Starbucks have in common? Answer: Implicit bias, which refers to attitudes or stereotypes that influence our perceptions, judgements [sic], and behaviors in an unconscious manner. In this workshop, participants will gain knowledge about the concept of implicit bias, discover how it shows up in their lives, and learn ways to uncover and challenge the implicit biases that contribute to injustice.â€
BTW, for all you solar lovers, they have another workshop: “Some OSU solar panels were manufactured by prison laborers who were paid $0.93 an hour. Powered by Prison Orange participants will discuss the complexities of making decisions that are social just, economically fair, and environmentally friendly when two or more of these areas are in conflict.”
Hilariously, Oregon State has a student body that is 67.8% White, and just 1.3% Black. Their faculty composition is even worse, at 81.4% and .9%, respectively.
