Portland State U. faculty book club selection highlights ‘awful scourge of white people’
A spring faculty book club selection at Portland State University has come under fire from one conservative professor at the institution for its frequent laments over white oppression.
“My institution, Portland State, is having faculty read a book in Spring quarter on the awful scourge of white people at the institution,” political science Professor Bruce Gilley recently posted on X.
The book in question is titled “Culture Clash: New Majority Students at PSU.”
“Drawing on nearly 100 student interviews, this book invites us to listen closely to how students describe their learning experiences at PSU—the strengths they bring, the challenges they navigate, and the kinds of teaching and support that helped them succeed,” the university stated in a news release.
The book was co-authored by PSU history Professor David Peterson del Mar and Alejandra Vazquez, who wrote the book while an undergrad there. It was published in November 2025.
Gilley compiled some of the grievances against white people from the book in his X thread:
“Those with the most job security in this system tend to be white males from comfortable backgrounds who were raised in highly individualistic families and cultures.”
“I was told by some white boy that I don’t fit the standard,” but she is now “glad I don’t fit the standard.”
“I can’t share with these white professors,” she explains, and often feels “like I’m a rubber duck in a pond of real [white] ducks.”
In her online classes “I was seeing a lot of white people . . . a lot of white men,” which exacerbated her “sense of vulnerability.”
Several young white men dominated the class discussions, and one used many words she was unfamiliar with.
The white faculty, as well, “have that pride of, hey, I’m white, what are you going to do about it” when she approached them for help.

“Culture Clash: New Majority Students at PSU.”
But remember, kids — “white replacement” is a hoax, and you’re a racist for believing it!
What about the awful scourge of idiot teachers and professors?
“Several young white men dominated the class discussions, and one used many words she was unfamiliar with.”
Why take English 101 when crying “I is a po’ victim of racism” is so much easier?
I am an old white man. Young women these days use a lot of words that I am either unfamiliar with or would have resulted in my mother washing my mouth out with soap had I used them.
