Professor who said Otto Warmbier got what he deserved loses job

The University of Delaware has cut ties with an adjunct professor who suggested that Otto Warmbier, the American student whose death last week after being imprisoned in North Korea drew worldwide attention, was a ‘‘clueless white male’’ who ‘‘got exactly what he deserved.’’

Katherine Dettwyler, who taught in the anthropology department as recently as spring semester, ‘‘will not be rehired to teach at the University in the future,’’ the university said in a statement on Sunday. Her comments were posted at a time when she was not employed with the university and ‘‘in no way reflect the values or position of the University of Delaware,’’ the statement read.

1. She is probably against the death penalty. This young man was executed in the most cruel

and inhumane way possible.

Days later, in a now-deleted post from her Facebook account, Dettwyler wrote that Warmbier was “typical of the mindset of a lot of the young, white, rich, clueless males who come into my classes,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

“Is it wrong of me to think that Otto Warmbier got exactly what he deserved?” she wrote. “I see him crying at his sentencing hearing and think, ‘What did you expect?’”

5. Yes, good! Such astonishing callousness and hostility.

There's something wrong with her. As an anthropologist, she has to be extremely aware that he was still in adolescence and wouldn't have reached mature brain development yet. This dreadful woman even blamed his parents for his death and grouped him, trumpian-style, with rapists.

“His parents ultimately are to blame for his growing up thinking he could get away with whatever he wanted. Maybe in the US, where young, white, rich, clueless white males routinely get away with raping women. Not so much in North Korea."

Somehow I doubt his parents said goodbye as he headed off to NK without warning him repeatedly to be very careful.
