EXCLUSIVE: UNC course says WWII was 'Japan's attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism'​

The UNC course syllabus also characterizes Japan's military aggression during World War II as 'the first global attack on white Anglo-American hegemony.'​

As part of the curriculum, students will give presentations on topics that involve their classmates' romantic lives as they relate to race.​

The University of North Carolina is offering a class called "Global Whiteness," which involves student presentations on Trump and interracial hookups on campus.

Campus Reform obtained the fall 2021 syllabus, covers the concept of race since the 19th century, but also contains what appears to be revisionist narratives of American history, specifically World War II.

Specifically, the syllabus appears to place blame for the Pacific Theater on America and the West. The course overview describes World War II in the Pacific as "the first global attack on white Anglo-American hegemony" and "Japan's attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism."

A previous iteration of the course, taught in 2019, included a class session titled "Nasty, Angry White People," according to an earlier syllabus reviewed by Campus Reform.

Students in the course will be required to give a presentation based on one of 32 listed topics. One of the topics is, "How is Trump racist?"









Other student presenters will cover race in the context of their classmates' romantic lives through the topics, "Black/White hooking up at UNC" and "White/Asian hooking up at UNC." The list of topics also includes "White Trash," "1619 Project," and "Should White people pay reparations for slavery?"

Professor Mark Driscoll, who teaches the course, writes a robust defense of free speech in his syllabus:

"I want all of you to feel safe to express yourself regardless of your point of view, background, physiological makeup or the general popularity or mass media appeal of your stance...you have a right and a duty to find out alternative truths about the themes that we will discuss. Moreover, we need to pledge to each other (this includes me to you) complete respect for each others' viewpoints and the willingness to tell each other when a comment or incident makes us uncomfortable."

In his faculty biography, Driscoll characterizes 1945 as "when the Allied Powers dismantled Japan’s extensive empire."

Campus Reform has reached out to Professor Driscoll for comment. This piece will be updated accordingly.

Oh really? What was Japan doing in China then?

 

[Testacles Maximus]

It didn’t go great for them.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Shockingly based, finally waking up to the reality that is glorious Nippon! Yatta!

 

[BelUwUga]

Lmao look at this weeb faggot:

Oh no! His whole CV is up on UNC's site for anyone to download right now! Sample with full file attached:

Edit because I have to point it out: Professor Dickhead up there even has a foreskin.

 

[Red Hood]

"Alternative truths"

Fuck. This.

I'd give a firm wager this guy's got student focused yellow fever, too.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

There was an attempt

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

A take so retarded it has its own restained wheelchair

 

[Chongqing]

Oh really? What was Japan doing in China then?

Overseeing slaves.

Oh, wait...

 

[UselessIdiot]

Then why did they form an alliance with the Nazis and Italy, dipshit?

Logic isn't for everybody.

 

[Testacles Maximus]

Professor Dickhead up there even has a foreskin.

The turtleneck is a dead giveaway.

Other student presenters will cover race in the context of their classmates' romantic lives through the topics, "Black/White hooking up..." and "White/Asian hooking up...."

It’s a bad sign when the lack of the word “lesbian” is the only thing separating this from my pornhub search history.

Called it. I knew once most WWII GIs were dead they'd get started on the Imperial Japan dindunuffin.

Weeb jokes aside, even without many job prospects, Asian Studies regarding Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Russian (to an extent) languages seemed like a joy to study decades ago.

Now, it’s unfortunate that Asian-Americans are now being castigated and threatened by the same “diversity” totem pole that is crushing many forms of grievance studies in America.

Called it. I knew once most WWII GIs were dead they'd get started on the Imperial Japan dindunuffin.

If Imperial Japan dindunuffin then the US also dindunuffin with all the firebombing and the nukes. QED

Reminder that since universities are just large scale money laundering schemes anyway, you can find "academic classes" on pretty much anything some crackpot moron teacher wants to teach.

I took an entire semester on Tolkien literature which amounted to getting honors level credits to spend a few weeks getting high and reading Lord of the Rings.

College is a fucking joke lol

Technically speaking, he isn't wrong. Forcing the West out of Asia was a stated goal of the Japanese. There also absolutely was a racial aspect to colonialism (White Man's Burden, for example). That said, the Japanese were even more racist and hateful to their "fellow" Asians than whites were, and considered the liberation of Asia from the West and unification under Japanese dominion and control (Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere) to be their very own Nippon Man's Burden.

And I'm pretty sure if you were to ask the people of Nanking if they preferred whites or Japanese in charge, they'd pick whitey.

 

[XYZpdq]

Oh really? What was Japan doing in China then?

superior colonialism with Yamato Damashii

 

[thx1138]

ahahaha Japan literally called Korea its "colony" and practiced open slavery of Korean peoples. ahahaha.

Someone blow this guy's brains out, please.

Most pre-troon looking dude I've ever seen. Guarantee he's Ms. Driscoll within the year.

It actually would be pretty easy to get this class shut down. Just get a bunch of white frat boys to take the class and then start tweeting out everything they learned in the class.

"Saw the most amazing film in Prof. Driscoll's class today. Birth of a Nation. Really eye-opening. You need to check it out. "

"Had never heard of craniometry until Prof. Driscoll's class. Fascinating stuff. Prof. Driscoll is "

"Never took a class where my professor was so interested in hearing about my hookup with that hot Asian chick last week. Prof. Driscoll is pretty cool"

Most pre-troon looking dude I've ever seen. Guarantee he's Ms. Driscoll within the year.

Maybe he'll go the Oli London route and go trans-racial.
