Fury as Johns Hopkins Hospital publishes diversity hit list where its DEI chief claims ALL whites, males, Christians, able-bodies people and English speakers are ‘privileged’

Johns Hopkins Hospital has sparked outrage after its DEI head sent a letter labeling all white people, Christians, men and English speakers as “privileged.”

The letter, posted on Twitter by End Wokeness, was written by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden and was part of the “monthly diversity digest.”

An angry hospital employee shared the memo with the Twitter account.

In it, Dr. Hill explains that ‘privilege’ is the ‘diversity word of the month’.

To explain who the phrase applies to, she offered a list. It says: ‘Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it.

“White people, able-bodied people, heterosexual people, cisgender people, male Christians, middle-class or property-owning people, middle-aged people and English-speaking people” all fit the bill, Golden said.

The letter was sent yesterday by Dr. Sherita Hill Golden sent to staff for ‘Monthly Diversity Summary’

‘People in dominant groups often believe that they have earned the privileges they enjoy, or that anyone could have access to these privileges if they would only work to earn them.

“In fact, privileges are unearned and are granted to people in the dominant groups whether they want those privileges or not, and regardless of their stated intentions.”

Among those condemning the comments was Elon Musk, who tweeted: “This has to end!”

Donald Trump Jr. said, “The rot and racism in higher education goes so far beyond Harvard, MIT, and Penn (my alma mater) that it has taken over virtually every institution and it must end now.”

After the post went viral on Twitter, Golden apologized to staff this morning.

‘The newsletter contained a definition of the word privilege, which on reflection I deeply regret. The intent of the newsletter is to inform and support an inclusive community at Hopkins, but the language of this definition clearly fell short of that goal.

‘Because it was too simplistic and poorly worded, it actually had the opposite effect.’

“I retract and reject the definition I shared, and I am sorry.”

In a statement to DailyMail.com, a spokesperson for Johns Hopkins Medicine said: ‘The January edition of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity monthly newsletter used language that contradicted Johns Hopkins’ values ​​as institute.

‘Dr. Sherita Golden, Chief Diversity Officer at Johns Hopkins Medicine, sincerely acknowledged this error and retracted the language in the message.”

In a follow-up today, after the email went viral on social media, she apologized for her “poorly worded” definition

Other Twitter users also dismissed the letter.

In response, conservative activists are trashing the institution online.

“Johns Hopkins is throwing its legacy of a respected and revered institution onto the DEI movement, which history will cite as the thing that brought down this venerable institution for promoting racism, discrimination, and too many phobias to mention.” , someone wrote.

“I fall into every category here so I must be the privileged world champion,” another user joked.

“I would love it if the word ‘privilege’ were just sucked into a vortex, never to be seen or spoken again,” said another.

Last October, Johns Hopkins made headlines when it renamed one of its programs the Caroline Donovan Professorship in English Literature because the Donovan family owned slaves in the 19th century.

According to a 2020 announcement The school’s founder Johns Hopkins was also a slave owner despite being a Quaker, a group that was largely abolitionist.

“Weighing the most important legacy of any name is a subjective and imprecise process, but in undertaking this work the University seeks to reconcile history with the values ​​it seeks to protect and uphold,” said Vice President of the university’s board of trustees, Sarah O.,” Hagan said in a statement at the time.
