The Hoax of Systemic Racism

Princeton prof challenges university's 'systemic racism' narrative

•Princeton’s president wrote a letter to the community regarding plans to “combat systemic racism at Princeton and beyond.”
•The letter was in response to a July 4 letter from faculty demanding he take anti-racist action.
•Now, a mathematics professor at the university has responded, saying, “Princeton is not in the least racist.”

A mathematics professor at Princeton University is now calling out the Ivy League institution's president, Christopher Eisgruber, after he released a letter to the community regarding his plans to “combat systemic racism” at Princeton. The president’s statement was in response to an open letter from more than 350 faculty members on July 4 demanding that he take anti-racist action.

In an op-ed for Newsweek, Professor Sergiu Klainerman wrote, “By yielding to the manifest falsehood that Princeton is a racist institution, he makes it impossible for him to defend Princeton's values.”

“Princeton is not in the least racist,” Klainerman continued. “Most people know this. Certainly the president does, and I suspect most of the signatories of the July 4th letter do as well.”

Klainerman found fault with the president’s letter for failing to acknowledge the “truly remarkable” modern story of redemption by Princeton and many other American universities. He went on to point out that, in the 1930s, Princeton led the nation by welcoming Jewish and other refugee scientists from Nazi Europe. Klainerman also highlighted that Asian Americans now make up a fourth of the student body.

Klainerman said that “to promote excellence in research and teaching, major American universities have to develop policies that are blind to considerations of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, socio-economic class and any other factor not relevant to intellectual achievement.” (read more)
