How is This Even Legal? Williams College Econ Department Promotes Another Whites Need Not Apply Program

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - Looks like the newly woke Economics Department at Williams College has sunk to new lows. Right now, their identity politics pandering appears disgusting, even pre-illegal. They have taken to Twitter to promote their whites need not apply Bolin Dissertation and Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Economics. 

According to the advertisement for the fellowship, this generous program is designed to exclude whites. It says: "The Gaius Charles Bolin Fellowships at Williams College are designed to promote diversity on college faculties by encouraging students from underrepresented groups to complete a terminal graduate degree and to pursue careers in college teaching."

A tweet from the department's account in response to an on-line complaint about the program claims that "The ad has more info - the list of example dimensions of under representation is long and absolutely not limited to race."

Here's the exact wording of the eligibility for the fellowship:

The Bolin Fellowships are awarded to applicants from underrepresented groups, including ethnic minorities, those who are first-generation college graduates, women in predominately male fields, or disabled scholars. 

The Economics Department's promotion of this whites need not apply program occurs in an increasingly anti-white, anti-male climate at Williams College. The school came to national attention earlier this year when video of a unhinged, bigoted tirade against young white men was discovered by national media including The College Fix. The footage revealed a vicious, extended racist attack on white male members of the College Council. Critics noticed that virtually no one tried to protect the white men from verbal abuse and threats during the April 9, 2019 rant. 

The College Fix has also called national attention to an upcoming “New Voices in Science and Technology Studies: A C3 Symposium,” set for early November 2019 which denied young white graduate students from participation as presenters. 

It gets even more bizarre. As seen in the tweet above from the Williams College Economics Department, they doubled down their mistake by suggesting that similar programs biased against white graduate students should be worldwide.  Earlier, they had even asserted their unhappiness with the fact that they could not offer this lucrative fellowship to an illegal alien.

Love this too. Found myself blocked from reading any more tweets from @WilliamsEcon.

Apparently, anyone fighting against the anti-white, anti-male bias of the Williams College Economics Department needs to be avoided at all costs. Wouldn't it be simpler just to treat everyone fairly? Wouldn't it be easier to end a generation of institutionalized discrimination against young white male graduate students? How much longer does the Economics Department at Williams College want to make life harder and more difficult for hard-working white graduate students doing the best possible work?
