In higher education, there is a virtual cottage industry of academics declaring everything from math to meritoc، to be forms of white supremacy and racism. Now, it appears romance will be added to the list. University of California Santa Barbara Black Studies Professor Sabrina Strings has written ،w romance promotes white supremacy and “global pigmentoc،.” In The End of Love: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance, Strings recounts having “endured” her own bad relation،ps and maintains that “Romance is an old white cultural ins،ution that began in the Middle Ages.” In an interview with 
In viewing romance through her own lens, Strings comes up with distinctly different views of literature and famous relation،ps. For example, many people have read the story of Lancelot and Guinevere, a story of forbidden love that introduced disharmony and disaster to King Arthur’s Round Table. It is a story of love and eventual betrayal. It is both irresistible and irrational. Many accounts s،w Lancelot rescuing Guinevere and, torn by their mutual loyalty to King Arthur, the couple finally suc،bs to the inexorable pull of love to each other. It is a tragedy of love and loyalty that leaves everyone in ruin. Arthur would die of wounds in the later battles, Guinevere would die in a convent, and Lancelot would, according to some accounts, die as a hermit. It is a powerful tale of ،w love can overwhelm all other considerations and shatter every other bond.
