She sounds like a nice white lady. She probably thinks she's doing her best with the "Blacks" who are "the lower ones". Even given the *most possible* benefit of the doubt here, she just doesn't have the cultural competency required to serve Black students equitably.

I don't have time right this second to investigate this. There is a lot of missing context here for me. But there is a thing we can see just from this clip. This woman is choosing to identify the Black students as somehow separate and distinct from other low performing students.
The person she's taking to didn't ask her to do that. It wasn't necessary in order to address low performance. She decided all on her own to call that into significance. Even before addressing any other factors. That is what white supremacy does.
Let me say it another way. Every college class has low performers. All white classes are going to have all white low performers. Only when Blackness is added to the equation does it become noteworthy. White supremacy prompts the question "is it because they're Black?".
