Students at Cal State University at San Marcos (CSUSM) held a “Whiteness Forum” Thursday as part of the school’s “Annual Whiteness Forum and Day of Solidarity,” hosted by the CSUSM Department of Communications in response to the results of this year’s United States presidential elections.
“People of all races, genders, abilities, sexualities, and differences awoke on Wednesday, November 9th to a world that is more hostile, intolerant, and violent,” the forum’s event description reads, citing a Southern Poverty Law Center report on harassment incidences in the country since Election Day. “Many of us in the Department of Communication at California State San Marcos have been asking ourselves, ‘What do we say?’ How do we respond to violence, to racism, to sexism, to homophobia, and all other forms of intolerance? We say, ‘Ya Basta!’ ‘Enough! We will not sit silently. We will not be intimidated. We will bend our talents and our labor to make the world a safe space for difference.’”
