A white, male student at Chapman University has been maligned on social media after penning an op-ed for his school newspaper that argued campus diversity efforts, while seemingly offered with good intentions, actually, breed radicalism and silence dissent.

Sophomore Ryan Marhoefer, a business administration major at the private university in Southern California, received major backlash in comments about the article that included calling him a white supremacist and suggesting he should be expelled or physically assaulted.

The column in question, published Oct. 15 in The Panther campus newspaper, was headlined: “Diversity of skin color is nothing compared to the diversity of opinion.”

“Forced diversity, casual hatred for straight white men and ostracism of conservative blacks and gays have become commonplace,” argued Marhoefer in his piece. “In the pursuit of diversity for the sake of diversity, echo chambers, which only breed radicalism, have created the perfect climate where voices can be silenced.”

“Diversity can be and usually is a good thing, but forced diversity is not,” he continued. “Everyone, especially colleges, should start to take political and intellectual diversity as seriously as they take the more superficial forms of diversity.”

The article has been shared more than 1,200 times on Facebook as well as among students on their personal profiles, drawing dozens of furious comments. Comments under the article itself offer similar angst.

“He’s in my class, I actually pointed out his article in discussion with the class subject. And expel him because there should not be racists (invert or subvert) on this campus, and he clearly has some supremacy in his blood,” wrote one student.

“Honestly just expel him lmao. Let his parents spend tuition money elsewhere. Or let me talk to him, shoot my eyes are peeled on campus to go and educate this boy…fellow white people, please stay in your assigned lane,” said another.

Others posted that he should be physically assaulted.

Many reactions also attempt to discredit his argument simply because he is a straight, white male.

“White cis men are irritating as f*ck,” said one comment.

“I am just entirely done with men. Doubly so with white or cis men and 900% with white cis men. If they could just all have their mouths taped shut and fingers glued together that’d be wonderful,” said another.

Several responders reacted by saying he’s too privileged to share his opinion.

“Oh look, another column from a privileged male white dude who want to express his entitled opinion, as he’s spoon fed through life by his rich wealthy parents and forever sheltered that he can’t be open minded with his costly predatory education. I pity this fool and his delusions. Go enjoy your safe bubbled life, dude,” said one comment.

“Ryan, while doing racist, privilege white guy shit: DON’T ALLOW PEOPLE TO TELL YOU YOU’RE RACIST AND PRIVILEGED,” said another.

“I’m not going to bother to read all of this, because I can find 1000 other ‘as a white man in power I feel threatened by diversity’ articles in every corner of the web,” said a third.

Another chimed in: “lol you should leave your parents’ country club now and then.”

Many people resorted to name calling, and worse.

“Ryan is a c*nt,” said one.

“I could vomit,” added another. “How many roofies does he have in his pocket yall.”

Colleges are a joke now.

Well these progressives didn’t take long to prove everything he was saying right, did they?
