(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A woke professor at the University of Pennsylvania attempted to argue that the Uvalde, Texas, shooting and police response was the result of racism, and was rightfully roasted for spewing utter tosh.
Anthea Butler, the Pennsylvania professor, questioned whether the police failed to enter the elementary school in Uvalde because they have no interest in saving brown children, according to Twitchy.

“So since no one will ask, I will,” she opined.
“Did those children die because most of them were Mexican American and the police didn’t give a damn about a school [with] predominantly brown kids?” she asked.
“I mean, because it’s Texas… and if you think everyone who isn’t white is illegal…”
Butler has a history of blaming racism for all of America’s social problems.
“When people say to you, ‘I don’t see color, I see what Jesus sees in you,’ that really actually means that they just see white,” she said.
According to Butler, evangelicals might destroy all of America.
They “may end up killing us all” due to their “racism, sexism, homophobia, lack of belief in science, lack of belief and common sense.”

Of course, a number of the police officers present at the Uvalde school that day were actually Latino, which undermines Butler’s point entirely.
…Critics have pointed out that Uvalde Police Chief Daniel Rodríguez is Latino as is Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pedro Arredondo. Many of the officers at the scene were Latino and there were officers with children at the school and among the dead
