The Canadian professor has been tarred as a racist for ridiculing the concepts of white privilege and white guilt.
Canada’s most famous psychologist has mesmerized millions on YouTube, written a best-seller, and spoken to sold-out crowds on a world tour that promises not to end any time soon. Like any celebrity, he has his detractors, and some of them are trying to destroy his reputation with a single word: racist.
The R-word has been precariously dangling on the lips of Jordan B. Peterson’s enemies for years. Most critics resorted to underhanded aspersions against the university professor instead of directly making the assertion of racism, since actual proof was lacking. Ira Wells of The Walrus, a Canadian publication, wrote last November that whereas white supremacist Richard Spencer attacks “sexual and racial minorities directly, Peterson instead attacks gender studies and race studies departments.”
