The original founders, and later leaders of Harvard profited from the slave trade and some were directly involved in it. Time to rename da' joint.

And yes, the victims of racism are the ones who get to define it. It's happening to them.
But the people in power are racist towards white people, as this is just one example (Harvard taking down pictures of white people).
Most of the African slave trade was carried out or mediated by powerful black tribal chiefs. Does this mean there was no racism involved in it?
Thanks for advertising that you are as intellectually dishonest as the OP.
The pictures weren't taken down.
I'm guessing that the people who are freaking out over a college's interior decorating decisions are the same people who call others "snowflakes."

You didn't get in because you're an a**hole and the admissions committee realized that.

The entire concepts of race, and in particular, the concept of 'racism' (as in 'anti-racism'), were uniquely European white male concepts. Technically speaking, only white males should even be taking part in this conversation, as all others are appropriating our language and concepts.
Blaah, blah, blah..next you'll complain about white farmers in Africa having their feelings hurt and how you long for the good ol' days in Rhodesia. You're boring.
