Professor Delgado Defends Use Of His Book In Course, Criticizes Fox Network

After a Fox News host said an Arizona State University course studies whiteness and stokes anti-white resentment among students, Professor Richard Delgado, whose book is listed on the syllabus, criticized the news network.

“I think Fox’s main criticism is absurd,” Delgado recently told HuffPost. “Critical race theory — at least in my view of it — is not fixated on white people. Fox should realize it is just not about them and their favorite audience.”

Delgado said critical race theory aims to provide a better understanding of race relations.

“It’s about racism, it’s about power, it’s about influence, it’s about law — about how law shapes and instructs racism and racial relations in this country, what causes it to change,” Delgado said.
