Barbara Kay: ‘It’s not easy being white’

April 8, 2010 By admin

She writes:

In one such tale from the University of Toronto, a Muslim and his dormitory mate, a male of white privilege (MOWP), came to blows over the MOWP’s pique at being prematurely awoken every day during the month-long fast of Ramadan by the Muslim’s noisy pre-sunrise breakfast preparations.

“When tensions boiled over,” a thestar.comsummary reports, “the Muslim student threw the first punch” at the MOWP, for which the Muslim student was expelled from the dorm.

Unfair, according to a member of the task force: “With some sensitivity training to the broader issue, that incident might have been better handled.” Sensitivity training? For whom?

Has any Canadian Muslim ever undergone sensitivity training?
