Evaluate my Professor

Via Hotair, we learn that student evaluations of their professors are racist:

As it turns out, those evaluations from the professors’ young charges aren’t always very fair. In fact, according to at least one study Joyner cites, they tend to be blatantly sexist and racist. After linking one report from Texas Tech political scientist Kristina Mitchell and her co-author, Jonathan Martin, which compares student evaluations to the comments section of a blog post, it’s pointed out that there are trends in precisely who gets the worst reviews.

Of course all the things are racist and only a racist would deny that.

Hotair asks why minority professors are more likely to get worse reviews that white ones:

The only alternative explanation would be that the students are offering fair assessments, but the female and minority professors are just worse. (And I don’t think anyone is going to like or even believe that answer. Nor should they.)

Could be a relatability issue. Could be your getting a lot of black professors filled with a lot of Social Justice Warrior pap and letting it spill out into class. A middle class white kid trying to stay awake becuase he just came off his 8 hour job might find lectures on 'white privilege' a tad off putting, no? Could be that given black professors are far more likely to come from bad school systems theyre just 'worse' and your getting a lot of Diversity Hires.

We think all three.

Back during our professorial days we had student evaluations. We found them useful and gratifying. We were very good at what we did. Not quite the same thing, but here's what the kids had to say about us on Rate My Professor.
