The University of Delaware is cutting ties with a part-time professor who provoked a controversial firestorm for saying North Korea detainee Otto Warmbier "deserved" to die.
The Newark school said it will not re-hire Katherine Dettwyler, the adjunct faculty member who blasted the 22-year-old student as "young, white, rich, clueless" in a since-deleted Facebook post Tuesday.
The school's statement (pdf):
The comments of Katherine Dettwyler do not reflect the values or position of the University of Delaware. We condemn any and all messages that endorse hatred and convey insensitivity toward a tragic event such as the one that Otto Warmbier and his family suffered.
The University of Delaware values respect and civility and we are committed to global education and study abroad; therefore, we find these comments particularly distressing and inconsistent with our values. Our sympathies are with the Warmbier family.

Otto Warmbier wasn't white. He was a jew [timesofisrael.com]. Young, jewish, rich, clueless, and now dead.

Sorry, I don't understand your meaning here. Are you saying:
1) that it's OK to fire someone for being glad a Jew is dead
1a) the above, but sarcastically, as a way of complaining about Jewish privilege
2) that it's not OK to fire someone for being glad a white man was dead
2a) the above, but sarcastically, because white lives don't matter
3) some combination of the above
4) none of the above, in which case I've completely misunderstood

It is a crime to call a jewish person white when said jewish person is the victim. It is only acceptable to call a jewish person white when said jewish person is caught committing a horrible crime like child molestation, serial killing, defrauding fellow jews in financial scams, etc.
Hypothetically you could call him white if he raped, murdered, and consumed the corpses a bunch of underage North Korean girls and got executed for it.

Sooo... 1a?
You're pretty firmly in Poe's Law territory here, my sarcasmeter is pegging. The words you're using indicate that you're describing what is, and your tone suggests you think that it ought not be like that. Subtexts I'm getting from your last post include:
* social taboo insists that being White can only carry negative qualities
* social taboo considers victimhood to be a virtue
* in combination, the two social taboos above imply that no one can be both White and a victim
* your use of "when" instead of "if" suggests you view Jews as being variably victims or horrible criminals (child molesters, serial murderers, financial fraudsters)
* social taboo insists that financial fraud by Jews is only a horrible crime if committed against other Jews
* the social taboos above offend you
Have i got it about right?

Anyone American foolish enough to go to a KNOWN strict regime, whether NK, China, Thailand/Malaysia, Singapore, etc and doing stupid shit, like drugs, speaking out in protest of the government, or stealing government propaganda (seriously if you want some, try asking if there is a propaganda/tourism office which might sell you some!) really is getting what they asked for, consequences-wise.
Remember: friends and family don't let friends and family go to dangerous regimes with plans to do something stupid. If you allow them, and didn't make sure to repeat 'don't do anything stupid that might get you arrested, or even looked at funny', you were part of the problem. Just because you think they have that common sense and don't want to nag: YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. Just because you think America is superior and everybody should follow our laws... YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
This is no different than a trip to Mexico or Columbia, or America while Brown. You stir up shit and there is a high chance you'll return home in a bodybag.

I would say 'America while anything' in the wake of that Australian woman getting murdered by police when she called 911 to report a rape [reuters.com].

She was shot by a trigger happy Somolian, lot of which are infesting parts of Minnesota due to the PC idiots' immigration circus. Read the papers. Lots of them have bugged out to fight for ISIS. It might have been a "get whitey" moment or just a "get even for a perceived racial injustice" event.

Of course. This is one of the many tactics of copsuckers to redirect the blame elsewhere. Just change the topic to where the cop came from/what race they are so that we don't need to admit that the police are in dire need of reform!

You must admit that the shooting of an gorgeous, unarmed, blonde, white woman calling for help is an rare anomaly even among the worst Police Departments. Therefore this is an outlier event. As an outlier, other causes must be considered. This was a black on white shooting.
There are only two possible causes, deliberate or accidental. If accidental, the Somali cop was a totally incompetent and trigger happy idiot for firing on a woman who could never be considered a threat, which reflects on his community and the people who hired him. (PC hire?) If deliberate, why would he shoot an unarmed white woman? I gave a couple of possibilities...

> She was shot by a trigger happy [moslem] Somolian
FTFY
The quota-hire cop enforced strict moslem rules in his own household. The chances that he will afford any respect at all to an unaccompanied, non-moslem, woman who is out at night in her pyjamas approaches 0%. What happened there wasn't police violence, it was a religiously motivated hate crime.
