If you feel threatened by (gasp) someone challenging all this political correctness, I guess it's really a house of cards. Wow, imagine if I were in elected office -- we could trash all this P.C. stuff overnight.
I don't need to be politically correct. "Political" is a qualifier of sorts -- I'm just correct.
Interesting that the colleges have "Women's studies" and "Latino Studies" and others, but not "White Male" studies. Actually, they do. It's called "History".
I reject ALL of the group rights focus. The individual is where all rights reside, no matter what ethnic background, sex, lifestyle, whatever. But no individual should be penalized because of his or her background - not even the white ones.
Oh, and by the way, a group cannot claim equality and rely on preferences at the same time.

Someone call the waaaaaaambulance -- woe is the straight, able-bodied, white man and all of his poor, poor disadvantages.
I really do feel for you. It's not threatening at all, trust me. Hilarious and at least a little bit sad, yes, but threatening is about as far from the right word for it as you could possibly find.
Though I'm glad you feel you're fighting a noble fight here, as I don't think there is any denying that you certainly are: standing up for the perpetually underprivileged, universally underrepresented, and always disadvantaged white men out there. Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and their civil rights pioneer peers would applaud your courage for having the strength to really stand up to the machine here. And I join them, but then again, they're both black and probably are at the core of your being as incredibly disadvantaged as you are right now, so perhaps I chose the wrong set of people -- as they're obviously the root of the advantaged oppressors in this situation, and they're the reason everyone is able to keep you down as they do.
