Because this class just wasn't liberal enough...

So, I have made my sentiments known about this lovely class titled "Cultural Diversity in America". Firstly, I would like to point out that it is incorrectly named. It implies that we discuss Culture. That is definitely not what we talk about. Mostly, it is a guilt trip to a bunch of white college kids about how we have somehow oppressed colored people by essence of our whiteness. A more correct name for it would be "Racial Diversity in America" or "Racial Oppression in America" or better yet "How Everything is the White Person's Fault and Victimization Leads to the End of Racialization." But that is probably too long for the course catalog. What really got me today was her 15 minute lecture on the proper way to take notes in her class. Yes, she now is dictating how we should take notes. Because, somehow, we were intelligent enough to get into college, but somehow, we can't manage to write down what she puts up for us on slides. So now, I am racist and unintelligent. Good to know.

Oh, and a shout out to the awesome kid who sits behind me in that class. I say, "because this class can't get anymore liberal..." and he says "I totally agree with you". I'm glad not everybody thinks I'm crazy.

I love to hear your feedback! Please don't hesitate to comment :)

Much love,
Abbs
