I consider use of the word "whiteness" a sign of anti-white racism, because it is used to denigrate any field in which whites predominate. The subtitle of the article is not encouraging: "Dan-el Padilla Peralta thinks classicists should knock ancient Greece and Rome off their pedestal — even if that means destroying their discipline."

Btw I am a brown-skinned person who appreciates the work of Aristotle, especially Nicomachean Ethics.
