Having taken this professor's class before, I can assure you that his syllabi are typically not "poorly constructed," nor does his idea of the "hierarchy of whiteness" "condemn an entire race of people."

It's actress Michelle Williams. :)

Or you could, I don't know, NOT make assumptions and actually talk to the kid before just butting in, calling the cops and causing a fuckton of trouble??
