Yale University Newspaper Editor Urges Students to Spy on White Male Classmates to Be Able to Ruin Their Careers in the Future

Isis Davis-Marks

Yale Daily News’ opinion editor has published an op-ed urging students to spy on their white male classmates so they will be able to ruin their careers in the future. Isis Davis-Marks’ article, titled “Evil is Banal,” is filled with racist rhetoric towards her white male peers. 

“Everyone knows a white boy with shiny brown hair and a saccharine smile that conceals his great ambitions. He could be in Grand Strategy or the Yale Political Union. Maybe he’s the editor-in-chief of the News. He takes his classes. He networks. And, when it comes time for graduation, he wins all the awards,” the article begins. 

“One day, I’ll turn on the television — or, who knows, maybe televisions will be obsolete by this point — and I’ll see him sitting down for his Senate confirmation hearing. Yes, he’ll be a bit older, with tiny wrinkles sprouting at the corners of his eyes and a couple of gray hairs jutting out of the top of his widow’s peak. But that smile, that characteristic saccharine smile, will remain the same,” she continued. 

Davis-Marks continues on to say in the future, she will be watching that white boy, who by then will be a white man, on CNN. She explains that she will “remember a racist remark that he said, an unintentional utterance that he made when he had one drink too many at a frat party during sophomore year. I’ll recall a message that he accidentally left open on a computer when he forgot to log out of iMessage, where he likened a woman’s body to a particularly large animal. I’ll kick myself for forgetting to screenshot the evidence.” 

The op-ed claims that people forget about these small indiscretions, but in 30 years that white male student might have a job you don’t like — such as working at a company that contributes to “gentrification in cities.” 

She laments that without evidence, you won’t be able to ruin their lives for something that offended you in college. “But I can’t do that anymore — I can’t let things slip by. I’m watching you, white boy. And this time, I’m taking the screenshot,” the racist rant concludes. This problem isn’t just at big universities in liberal cities.
