Do You Believe That Skin Color Makes Someone Disabled Due To Systemic Racism?

In a startling revelation, Fox News reports that a class curriculum at Princeton University for Fall 2023 proposes that black people should be viewed as "disabled" due to systemic racism. The class, led by Satyel Larson, author of a controversial book with Jasbir Puar, suggests that social structures in America limit the agency of black people, effectively rendering them "disabled". The book further associates the Black Lives Matter and the movement against the Israeli occupation of Palestine with disability rights. This concept, though divisive, is being taught in American higher educational institutions, further stigmatizing and alienating a demographic already burdened by societal prejudices.

Do you agree with the notion being taught at Princeton University that Black individuals should be classified as "disabled" due to systemic racism?

Yes, I agree. Systemic racism has debilitating effects and this is a valid perspective.
No, I disagree. No one is "disabled" because of the color of their skin. There is no such thing as systemic racism.
I'm unsure. I'd need to understand more about the context and the reasons behind this claim.
I believe there's a better way to address systemic racism without labeling an entire demographic as "disabled".

Fox News reported Sunday that a Princeton University class curriculum for Fall 2023 claims that black people should be considered “disabled” due to systemic racism.
