Is my professor allowed to be Greek?

This week I found out my professor for Turkish history this semester is Greek after she had gyros catered to our class on her birthday. I’ve been thinking it over and wondering if this should even be allowed given the tension between Turkey and Greece? In my eyes it is a slight conflict of interest.

For example, I am a mix of Polish-Armenian and Pakistani-English and I would find it suspect for a Russian-German and Indian-Austrian to teach our history. Obviously there are no laws against it, but I would think it would be highly discouraged.

That’s kind of racist, brother. I get what you’re saying but as long as he follows the curriculum it should be fine, right. If he goes off topic or says false statements you could report him to the dean I suppose.

So we should limit what people are allowed to study on the basis of ethnicity?

Is there anything you object too in how he teaches?

I have to laugh because a close friend who is Turkish who never misses an opportunity to disparage Turkey, Turkish History, Turkish culture, and Turkish people. Maybe we should ban Turks from teaching Turkish history while we are at it.

She*, funny how your mind refuses to admit woman can be professors too even though I said she several times in the post.

And I don’t think she should be limited based on ethnicity, but perhaps just not allowed.

Why does her gender matter so much to you?

Bias does tend to be ascribed to female professors more than male ones.

I cannot help but think this is in play here
