Accused of discrimination and white privilege, USC College Republicans president fights back

“Fight On” is the fight song of the University of Southern California, and it’s a mantra USC College Republicans President Jacob Ellenhorn is taking to heart.

Classes hadn’t even started back up yet this month when Ellenhorn was accused of white privilege, oppression, discrimination and appropriation in the Daily Trojan campus newspaper.

An Aug. 19 op-ed stated in part that Ellenhorn and other USC College Republicans who dared question the need for the “I Too Am USC” initiative in the privacy of their own closed USC College Republicans Facebook group were guilty of discrimination and proof the expensive Southern California institution is steeped in racism.

The columnist said the notion that white conservatives could be discriminated against is akin to “appropriating experiences of systemic racism, sexism and classism onto that of their own false struggle.”
