Jesus, Shades.
Do you honestly not understand that "wanting more whites around so you can feel comfortable" sounds stupid because whites are the MAJORITY? Maybe not in your social circle, maybe even not at your school(though I find that highly unlikely) but in the country, in the media. Women/minorities don't want more of their kind around, they want a support group. A white male can swing a cat in an engineering classroom and hit 10 of his group.
Your article is amusing in that it provides, once again, anecdotal evidence of three (3) professors that are NOT white males in your department. Whether they are the best professors is not the point; what percentage of the total do they make up? Now, to be fair, I don't expect it to be much. Engineering has been white male dominated for such a long time that there just aren't that many others to go around.
I understand that you have a hard time believing women don't go into engineering because of the patriarchy. Get some numbers on the percentage of women in the engineering programs. Come back to me.
