Ridiculous nonsense to couch this as racist, and the knee jerk censorship of these institutions is encouraging the nutters to shutdown more speech they don't agree with.
If you want to view the video, it's at https://business.lehigh.edu/news/understanding-poverty?fbcli... along with a rebuttal, and links to various supporting documents and commentary.
My reading of the various criticisms show they mostly focus on the invalid arguments in the original video, and its framing. http://www.electrostani.com/2021/02/a-response-to-frank-gunt... summarizes it nicely as:
> I believe Professor Gunter’s YouTube video uses data misleadingly, though the real source of the visceral reaction many students have had to his arguments probably comes from his language and rhetoric.
> If his first slide had said “U.S. Census Data Suggests Poverty Rates are Declining for Black Americans,” instead of “Poverty is Not a Matter of Race,” frankly, I doubt we would even be talking about this. So the first takeaway is: how you frame arguments and the language you use matters.
The article says only that 'some students' called him racist. How do you infer that that means the large majority of those who criticize him are doing so for groupthink reasons?
