Those costumes are racist, but I think the prof should have taken her chances with a vandalism charge rather than shelling out $1500 she's clearly never going to get back.

In other fun news, somebody was surprised to learn that the religious homeschooling she received, was in fact, worthless. In the process, she nails the problem exactly:quote:A graduate of a recently-shuttered Christian home-schooling organization says government needs to introduce stronger legislation to protect students. Why indeed?

I'm p. sure Ikantski is not literally asking "how is this racist?", he's baiting people into exposing the inconsistencies in whatever their personal take on the issue is, so that he can go "ah ha!" and make some point about relative values or something. It's not like this is the first time this has happened here.

I wish it wasn't racist to wear war bonnets because they look cool as poo poo. On the other hand I think wearing woad and the valknut are racist now too so I can't do that either. Thanks, racists 8(

goddamn, if someone had told me when I was young that the next acceptable framework of rationality would be to look at every issue in a complete vacuum of cultural and historical context, I would have slammed my copy of The End of Faith shut and said good day to you, sir!

Even at 200k they're already insulated from that. They don't live or work in those neighbourhoods and they have good insurance and the option to pay for private care.

Also, I wanted to post chiefselfieredfacephotoop.jpg. Happy halloween everybody. To expand a bit, based on my own limited understanding. Dressing up as a caricature of an identifiable minority is a problem because it dehumanizes people belonging to that group and helps reinforce/normalize the negative stereotypes that created or are associated with that caricature in the first place. Even if you don't find it offensive, if members of the group being caricatured do, then it's still a dick move. You can argue it's not your job to avoid offending people, but intentionally doing things you know offends people for your own gratification probably crosses a line.

We used to dress up in faux native garb in cub scouts and for Halloween and none of the zero first Nations kids I know complained so it must be ok.vyelkin posted:Trudeau has restored our international reputation and ability to smugly condescend to Americans so idgaf about what his policies actually are John Tory's approval rating is about 70% mainly because he's not Rob Ford. Then again Ford was well above 60% before his scandals started and Tory is quite possibly an even shittier mayor so abandon all hope.

Well considering the fact that redskin has wide use as a derogatory term for a native individual I'm not terribly fond of it. Unlike Blackhawk, which I've never heard of being used as a derogatory term.
