You have here summed up a large part of "the games people play" in America today.
But the self-serving propaganda of the tenured professoriat saved remnant of [generally genuinely...] oppressed minority groups probably shouldn't be criticized too harshly, since, after all, Black Studies, Women's Studies, Queer Studies, etc. were invented in a world already informed by Management Science, Criminology, Penology, The Educational Testing Service, Princeton New Jersey, etc. In a world that welcomes hegemonous mythical obfuscations, there should at least be room for the mythical obfuscations of the privileged children of genuinely oppressed social groups, too.
I believe Misrosoft has shown us the way: There is room for everything in our social world (e.g., "offshoring" white collar jobs...) -- there is room for everything except for a couple icon symbols in one little used obscure font in the most recent release of MS Office.... We are lucky to be living in an age in which perfection of society shall be finally achieved with so little additional effort -- that font is no longer being shipped as part of MS Office, and they will soon have a utility program to enable you to remove it from your personal computer too.
