10/31/09(Sat)01:21:36 No.6059777I could really go on with stuff like this. This is not well written and not worthy of being the copy-pasta it is. >Many
black people, especially black women, are enormously fat. Some are so
fat I had to arrange special seating to accommodate their bulk. I am
not saying there are no fat white students - there are - but it is a
matter of numbers and attitudes. Many black girls simply do not care
that they are fat. There are plenty of white anorexics, but I have
never met or heard of a black anorexic. Blacks typically earn
less, it's typically harder to eat healthy on smaller incomes. In
Canada, Natives are more likely to be overweight and have diabetes
because they are typically poorer than whites. Vegetables are expensive
and not as filling as heavily processed foods.
>Unlike
whites, who tread gingerly around the subject of race, they can be
brutally to the point. Once I needed to send a student to the office to
deliver a message. He never grew up where I did. I did not
know paki was a racial slur until last year because it's so commonly
used. It wasn't until I left my hometown I realized how racist my
environment growing up really was.
>My students had only the vaguest notion of who pays for government services. This
is the same for most tax-payers, in all honesty. I hear people
complaining about how taxes are should be lowered but the roads need to
be improved, healthcare needs to be improved, and all this stuff. Most
people do not want an understanding of the social, political, or
economic structures they rely on.
>Perhaps
this was a regional thing, but the blacks often sucked air through
their teeth as a wordless expression of disdain or hostility. People
often inhale to let people aware they're feeling a certain emotion,
this is a human thing, not a black thing. I tend to inhale like that
when I feel, very suddenly, uncomfortable. |
