A college professor said she harbored “innate racism” as a white woman, according to her syllabus obtained by Campus Reform.
Crystal Duncan Lane, who teaches at Virginia Tech, told students in a human development class that she was working “on a daily basis to be antiracist and confront the innate racism” within herself, which is the “reality and history of white people,” Campus Reform reported.
In the syllabus, Lane reportedly said she was a Caucasian, cisgender female of Scottish, British and Norwegian heritage who is married to a cisgender male.
She said she did not ask for the “many privileges” in her life, but that she will continue to benefit from them whether she likes it or not.
Lane invited her white students to join her “on this journey” to “be better” and “transform,” according to Campus Reform.
“And to my students of color: I apologize for the inexcusable horrors within our shared history,” she added.
Some students expressed discontent with Lane’s apology.
“It is a class about disabilities, not political opinion, affiliation, nor judgment in any sort,” student Natalie Rhodes told Campus Reform. “If you are discussing disabilities, stick to your course.”
“It hurts that someone says I was born with ‘innate racism’ because of my skin color,” an anonymous student said.
“[It] makes me feel like I should hide and worry about everything I say.”
Virginia Tech did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

White College Professor: She Will ‘Confront the Innate Racism’ Within Herself
She is a basket case that shouldn’t be in the education field. Maybe flippin’ burgers at Wendy’s or some other fast food chain.
What the hell is a Cisgender Is that another liberal democrat disease. Like LIBERALSTUPIDFUNGUSAMONGUS
Hmm…yes, well probably. Sounds very Lefty, Liberal, Democratish, doesn’t it.
You got that right I am still trying to figure what that weirdo name PANSEXUAL is Does that mean that the democrats has sex with a pan.
How about POTSEXUAL That would go along with their brain.
Cisgender – White with racism issues? Inviting students take the journey to be better with her? Wow! If one is to take her seriously, she’s really messed up. So then, the question that immediately comes to mind is: Should this racist moron actually be educating our young? Oh well, I suppose there’s always one in the crowd.
