In Vehko's article, a mid-20s Black man is criticised for working too hard (likely due to economic necessity) same as a Saudi man in his 30s is critiqued for having kids (he classifies as a mature age student BTW). Only the White woman mature age student is the ideal.
Whiteness dominates academia in much the same way it does on Twitter discussions about this article, and other fields.
When we ignore whiteness we do so at the peril of the biases we bring to class/ lab/ workplace, writing off the potential of #POC, whatever their generation.

Yep. In US I've experienced tchrs cater to asisns & less than avg yts & ignore BP who WANT to learn while sabotaging their ego & academics. This IS the systemic racism we speak of. In college too. I had an Asian teacher tell me in biz course no one works for a comp...
and has their own biz. He was a FT instructor and had his own CPA comp. In HS my lab mate had a quest that my tchr told us to figure out. Asian team behind had the same question and she gladly helped them. Now life requires too much work to get all of the luxury...
for some. BP usually work to help fam while going to school. That's historical. But WP just have to be & exceptions (adjustments) are made. Yet we're told bootstraps. WW & BP DO NOT share struggles. 1st student shed the WG tears & got thru w/a personal walk thru bc her social
life. She's the same tchr tht will sabatoge a BK & carry a WK. I know this bc my sons are in school. They're very smart (per state tests) but most tchrs try to destroy thm so we change schools til we find a not racist tchr who just wants to tech/challenge. In good ole lib S. Cali
Awful but sadly unsurprising that your sons face similar forms of institutional racism in schools that you encountered, even in a supposedly progressive area. Racist teachers are allowed to damage Black children by a system that expects kids to fail, regardless of their talent
Expects...I'd say designed
This sounds like a professor that is inaccessible to students. Yes, some have life issues (that's bigger deal for some, and getting more common), but at the end of the day, these students are not comfortable asking q's in class.
Thank you for this, I had no desire to read the article, but your critique is very useful for understanding how this position stems from whiteness.
