Is the Professor Racist - bfine32 - 11-02-2016 My feeling are kind of mixed on this one: https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/professor-leaves-racist-note-students-152912088.html Quote:Tiffany Martínez is a first-generation college student majoring in sociology at Suffolk University in Boston. She is a McNair Fellow, a Dean’s List recipient, and has presented at national conferences all over the U.S. RE: Is the Professor Racist - michaelsean - 11-02-2016 I don't know one way or the other, but this going public with every wrong committed is beyond ridiculous. Go to the dean and get it sorted out.

Go to the dean and get it sorted out. Agreed. As to the OP, I don't think so. I took it to mean 'this isn't your word because no one under 50 says "hence"' not 'this isn't your word because [whatever the nationality] doesn't have a synonym for "hence"'. And when you're looking for plagiarism, that's one of the things you look for, word usage or phrases that are out of character.

If all he said was "these are not your words," then it does sound like he is flagging plagiarism. The student may not have adequately paraphrased or sourced language the professor recognized as not likely hers. If he tells stories in class about all the problems Hispanics have with English and otherwise shows bias then maybe. But on the information given that does not look to be the case.

From the linked story "Martínez has not spoken with the professor since the incident, but has brought it to the attention of the chair of Suffolk University’s sociology department, who has launched an investigation." RE: Is the Professor Racist - BmorePat87 - 11-04-2016 No. The language "your words" or "language" isn't inherently a dig at the fact that she's Latina. Could that play a role in the professor thinking she wouldn't write like that? Sure, but I can't say with just this one case and this little information.

She went, and they are investigating. RE: Is the Professor Racist - JustWinBaby - 11-05-2016 Seems racist....but I have no trust in the Rolling Stones SJW media world RE: Is the Professor Racist - xxlt - 11-05-2016 (11-02-2016, 02:42 PM)Dill Wrote: Not enough information here.
