加拿大留学生问吧援引自Daily Hive和Narcity报道,在一名大学教授被指控在课堂中发表种族主义言论后,UBC大学已展开调查。

在发布的视频中,人们可以听到UBC大学化学系的教授喋喋不休地谈论智商水平和种族之间的关系。

根据Reddit的帖子显示,该教授被确认为John Sherman。

“我告诉你们一个事实。黑人在智商测试上的表现比白人差,”他在视频中说。“那是种族主义者吗?这是事实,”他补充道。

他还说,“亚洲人在智商测试上比白人做得更好,这是事实。现在你可以从中做出判断了。这是否意味着亚洲人比白人聪明?白人比黑人聪明?我不知道。问这个问题算是种族主义吗?我不认为这是种族主义,但这只是一个历史事实。”

Sherman随后继续谈论这个话题,重申这是事实。

曝光该事件的Reddit帖子现在有400多条评论,人们正在热烈讨论UBC教授的言论。

目前,此事正在调查中。调查人员正在观看一段9分钟的课堂录音,该录音将涵盖整个事件。

UBC professor under investigation, accused of making racist comments

Editor’s note: This article mentions and discusses racist comments.

A UBC professor is reportedly under investigation after students accused them of making racist remarks while instructing.

According to social media posts and videos reportedly shared by UBC students, Dr. John Sherman with UBC’s Department of Chemistry was talking about race and IQ when they made the statements.

In a clip of the reported lesson, Dr. Sherman is heard saying, “I’ll give you a fact – Black people do poorer on IQ tests than white people.”

“Is that racist? That’s a fact.”

“Is it racist to say it? I don’t know.”

“Asians do better than white people on IQ tests; that’s a fact.”

“Now, you can make judgements from that. Does that mean Asians are smarter than white? White are smarter than Black?”

A discussion regarding the racial comments was posted to the UBC subreddit, where students weighed in on their thoughts about the professor’s comments.

“We are aware of the concerns students have expressed,” said Director of University Affairs Matthew Ramsey in a statement.

“While we cannot comment on the specifics of human resources matters, the university takes matters such as this very seriously and has a variety of measures and policies in place with which to address them.”

The IQ Test, purported to be a measure of intelligence, is not generally used extensively or officially in Canada.

The history of the test itself is steeped in racism. It was often used as evidence of the lesser intelligence of people of colour and immigrants. That’s a fact.

All Comments

  1. The righter of the article can't distinguish between statistical analysis and racism. That's a fact.

  2. Asians are better then whites in math, so is that racist?

  3. I'm sure as an academic he probably regretted what he said or how he put it. The question is, what's his point?

  4. Age of the provocateur. If you’re a professor, you have a great deal of power in your position. And influence. You can use that power responsibly, or abuse it for your own ego. This was just one (ahem, white) man ignoring his own privilege of living a life without certain obstacles – saying something deliberately controversial to make his racialized students squirm. To make them think? Or to make them uncomfortable. I think the latter. In this way, he’s using language and his position of power to make someone else feel like less because of how they look. He's a sad, bumbling figure desperate to have anyone pay him some attention. May the UBC students and fellow faculty clap back hard.
