Black Harvard Professor: Safe Spaces Harmful

Increased victimization feelings more.

One very brave Harvard professor has deemed the leftist cause for more "safe spaces" on college campuses a harmful prospect. To those SJW's quick to shout "white privilege," Psychology Professor James Sidanius is also a black man, so save it.

In a paper published in 2004 titled, "Ethnic Enclaves and the Dynamics of Social Identity on the College Campus: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," Professor Sidanius concluded that safe spaces for minorities will ultimately harm their relationships with other minorities on college campuses.

"Once having joined these [ethnic] organizations, the more likely [students] were to feel that they were in this zero-sum relationship with other ethnic groups on campus, and the greater level of hostility they had towards other members on campus, the greater the degree to which they felt ethnically victimized by other ethnic groups on campus," Sidanius claimed in 2004.

Now, roughly 12 years later, Professor Sidanius told the College Fix his argument still holds up today.

"I don’t see any signs that [ethnic enclaves have] gotten worse, it’s probably remained relatively constant, we’re just paying more attention to it now," he told the outlet.

"Among minority students, the evidence suggested that membership in ethnically oriented student organizations actually increased the perception that ethnic groups are locked into zero-sum competition with one another and the feeling of victimization by virtue of one’s ethnicity," he concluded.
