African American Doctor Depicted as Gorilla at UCLA Event

“Imagine being graphically depicted as a gorilla in a slideshow photo. That alone is offensive. But the fact that the slide was publicly presented for laughs during an annual medical school sponsored event attended by more than 200 physicians, faculty, residents and guests is both shocking and indefensible.

Not only was Dr. Christian Head’s face superimposed onto the body of a gorilla standing on all-fours, but the photo also depicted him being sodomized by his Caucasian supervisor. This, unfortunately, was just one of a series of racially motivated incidents that Dr. Head has had to deal with over the past several years at UCLA. His complaints to administrative leaders at the Medical Center, the University and UC Regents have gone unanswered. In fact, his complaints have spurred additional acts of humiliation, attempts to push him out of academic medicine and retaliation.”

But there’s no racism in academia. FALSE. Those muhfuckas are some of the most racist bitches because they hide behind the lie that to be racist you have to be unintelligent. It’s not even that he’s ignoring this shit either, these callous sons of shitstains have the goddamn nerve to put his discomfort up for shits and giggles AFTER HE REPEATEDLY TOLD THEM TO CUT THAT SHIT OUT. FUCK YOU UCLA. AND FUCK OFF.

Everybody needs to point shit like this out whenever someone talks about affirmative action giving PoC the upper hand in employment and academia (or employment in academia). No amount of affirmative action in the world is going to make PoC want to attend or work in an environment like this, and the experience of this man is prevalent.
