...White Men
Allow us to introduce you to present professor Mark Perry, a brave warrior who has dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of the marginalized and oppressed white man, who just cant seem to get ahead. A college economics professor, Perry recently lodged a complaint with the Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights against Detroits Wayne State University. WSU hosts a summer workshop for Black Girls CODE, a nonprofit that introduces black girls to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers, which Perry claims violates Title IX, a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex for educational institutions that receive federal funds.
-----------
Perry said he hasnt been in contact with the summer program because his suit is against Wayne State, not the nonprofit Black Girls CODE. He suggests that Wayne State start some programs for the underrepresented white boys who miss out on opportunities because black girls are taking over the computer industry. The Root has previously reported on the nonexistent phenomenon:
The facts are inescapable: Tech companies dont hire black people.

(12,365 posts)2. White Males are Not a Minority & Not Out of Power-Discrimination Cannot Occur
Perry is acting on a fiction based on fear and selfishness. Providing resources for an actual minority experiencing proven, quantifiable discrimination doesnt create standing for a lawsuit. (Is this loon any relation to Rick Perry?)

Hes employed by rightwing billionaires via his position with AEI.

(1,117 posts)3. He's an AEI FELLOW! He's paid by billionaires to do this.
This guy has filed 30 similar suits nationwide. The relevant biography for him isnt that hes a professor. Its that hes part of the rightwing propaganda machine.
Hes paid by AEI (the rightwing think tank, that is funded by rightwing billionaires) to do this. Because billionaires find this kind of identity politics useful.
