Whites, "Mexicans", a Black were eating it all up. Others were innocent bystanders, and some had distressed looks on their faces.<br /><br />Well, so much for political correctness. I ran it by a subsequent gaggle of teenagers including more "minorities" and they all laughed.<br /><br />I think we are in for a rebellion against political correctness on this issue. If the kids are conspiring en masse to tell racist jokes non-stop for 45 minutes, and are backed up by their peers, then is that a sign of change or what?<br /><br />Maybe this is the change shaking out already. Not the economic, religious, sexual or whatever but the change in what jokes the kids tell.JLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894953406900161276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-9493711557814703972009-10-30T09:56:40.494-05:002009-10-30T09:56:40.494-05:00As a new TA for my university, I had an orientatio...As a new TA for my university, I had an orientation session and a packet of materials which were all about the avoidance and addressing of "bias incidents". On my feedback for the orientation, I commented that we shouldn't be dwelling on it to the degree that we create an environment where we/they expect offense.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523711184044291561noreply@blogger.com
