1. College professors, across race/ethnicity and gender, are more likely to respond to queries from students they believe are white males.
This is false.
Among public college professors, only Asians students were responded to less often. Hispanic males and Black males were responded to equally to white males, while white, black, and hispanic females all benefited from "reverse discrimination" (the researchers term) and got more responses than white males, plus black females got more response than white females.
Only private college profs showed gender and racial discrimination in favor of white males. Many private colleges are "Christian" and/or have an explicitly "conservative" mission, hiring based upon politics.
"Discrimination" against asians but not blacks or hispanics is incoherent with racial discrimination findings overall, indicating it is not simple race-based discrimination in itself. One possibility is that many liberal academics that favor AA policies, argue against counting Asians as under-represented and in fact it is often official policy to exclude to exclude Asians from such policies. Liberal profs may be rejecting Asians to save those slots for "real" minorities.
Another factor is that it isn't race at all but presumption of being foreign and not a US citizen. There are huge numbers of Asian students who live in Asia and are seeking to attend grad school in the US. There are so many that it has caused massive skews in the distribution of GRE scores, Quant scores of US students getting a lower percentile, and Verbal scores getting a higher percentile than they should relative to US born and educated students. Profs get emails from these foriegn students regularly, and its perfectly reasonable to assume that they ignore many of them, assuming it is a foreign student. Such students are a massive logistic hassle to bring into the country for grad school, cost more $ to fund off of grants, and their English skills are often poor.
2. White people, including white children, are less moved by the pain of people of color, including children of color, than by the pain of fellow whites.
More gross misrepresentation. The implication that this is particular to white people is false. Empathy is inherently self-referential. Empathy studies show that people of all races show more of a physiological empathic response to same race people, and even more empathy for people in their own race that have more facial similarity to themselves than those with less facial similarity. IOW, take a pic of the subject and a pic of another same race person, and use computer to morph the pics into a single face. People don't recognize it as themself, but they show more empathy to the morphed pic than the pure pic of the stranger. Also, show someone elses hands or feet being cut, and the empathy is higher when shown from a camera perspective that is similar to the angle one would look at their own hands or feet.
The main study the OP article cites for actual "empathy" was done on Italians in Milan, Italy, thus they claim it is "white people". The rest of the literature shows they would get the same results for non-white people had they bothered to include them.
Other studies given as evidence, are not really about empathy, but about presumed pain levels experienced by others with injuries. Here, people of all races (including blacks) rated the presumed pain that a black person is experiencing for an injury (like stubbed toe) to be less than a white person. The researchers argue that it is
not about race itself, but about everyone's notion that people who have faced more hardship are tougher, whereas "privileged" people feel more pain from minor injury. They did follow up experiments where you can get similar results even when all the people being judged are white, but differ in terms of their portrayed SES level.
IOW, what the research actually shows is that whites and blacks alike presume that white people are generally more privileged and have easier lives, and thus are wussies.
Similar politicized misrepresentations apply to at least some of the other 8 claims in the list, and maybe all given the intellectual dishonesty of the first 2 claims. But I don't have time to dissect each one. The burden is on the OP to show the exact evidence behind each one, which includes specifying who the research subjects were, did they test for similar effects for black subjects, what exactly were the methods and data, are the white and black groups being compared equal in all other ways besides race, etc..
Racism is alive and well among all races. Unfortunately, pseudo-science is also alive and well and rules the roost when it comes to racial discrimination "research", so its almost a random crapshoot as to whether cited studies showing racism are actually examples of racism in action or imply anything about whites that isn't equally true of non-whites.
