Students offended when talking about racism

This article is very interesting to me because it takes the perspective of how white people are reacting to lessons about racism.  I feel like most people don't address what the white perspective is on this issue which I am not sure is a good or bad thing. The white men in the article feel like they are getting attacked and they are being discriminated against because of their race and gender. They themselves may not be racist but because of racist white men before them they get the label that they are racist too. They don't see themselves at bad guys but they get that label because of some of the anti-racism teachings.
