Any belief of "resentment" from an ethnic studies class is fueled by white privilege and a notion of superiority.

What do white people think happens when students of color are subjected to a white perspective in a myriad of subjects in school? After all, students of color have to deal with not only the "praise of white historical, political, scientific, and literary figures on a daily basis; they also have to often listen to the perspectives (and often resentments) of the white teachers who perpetuate these perspectives.

And white people need a damned law to outlaw ethnic studies and forbid the teaching of other cultures?

There are some people who ought to thank their higher power that more folks of color aren't resentful from the years of indoctrination that white privilege has wrought.
