OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A college recruiter was fired after high school students in Oklahoma City said he had them line up by the color of their skin and then by their hair texture.
Harding Charter Preparatory High School student Korey Todd told KFOR-TV that during the Feb. 24 assembly, the recruiter from Oklahoma Christian University barely talked about the school itself."
He was like, 'All right, let's play a little game,' Todd said. Then he said, Okay everyone, now line up from darkest to lightest skin complexion.'
The 11th graders were then told to shuffle again.
Student Rio Brown said, He told us to line up nappiest hair in the back and straightest hair in the front."

(15,522 posts)less good than they are - as low as they believe themselves to be those people are lower.
People who boost their self-esteem with racist beliefs also do the same with sexism, religious bigotry, homophobia, anti-immigrant sentiment and so on.
Hollow.
The exact opposite of being a person who does good and therefore feels good about themselves, others, and the world.

Students attend these educational institutions to get an education and aren't always aware that, like Savour Faire, "racists"/ethnicists are everywhere. Since this miscreant was a 3d party we should give
the high school a break. But not Oklahoma Christian University. Now THEY might be getting an
unwanted but well-deserved earful. And a reduced number of applicants.

(63,221 posts)How was he ever permitted to get away with something like that? Figures, it was named Oklahoma "Christian" University. "Christian" these days is now a buzzword for racist.

(54,369 posts)Did he ask all Jewish students to line up near the showers?
Why did the students comply with what he asked? They're high school students and they don't know how to tell someone to fuck off?

(81,468 posts)"I could already see through his BS basically, Korey Todd said. He was a white man.
A man representing Oklahoma Christian University left the 11th grade class stunned.
He was like, 'Let's play a little game,' Todd said. "He said, 'Okay, everyone now line up from darkest to lightest skin complexion.'
"He said, 'Okay, who is going to line up the fastest,' Brown said.
Then, the juniors were told to shuffle again.
"He told us nappiest hair in the back and straighter hair in the front, Brown said.
"That's when I felt uncomfortable like, 'Okay, this isn't right,' Todd said.
"Teachers left, Brown said. They were crying and they were offended. Their faces just look disgusted. I know they had a talk with him after, like, 'That's not okay.'"

(463 posts)Just all balls and no brains on this councilor. I read more at [link:https://kfor.com/news/local/college-recruiter-fired-after-lining-students-by-skin-color-hair-texture-at-metro-high-school/| . The staff were so shocked that they cried, and the students knew bullshit when they saw it.
Just so brazen by this 'christian'
I see this story was found already...good
