well, i've just been reprimanded for not posting enough so i will now. recently i decided a professor was an asshole. It was one of those experiences where you know everyone in the class is cringing, but the professor somehow doesn't notice. the prof was basically picking on a student because of his problems with speaking english as a second language. Everyone could tell the student understood what he was talking about too. the professor was obviously enjoying persecuting the student; the funny thing is, when native english speakers had said things in the past that were much less intelligent, he never blinked an eye.
It amazes me how much racism exists in this city, even though it is so diverse. I always though that racism would be worse in places like pittsburgh where i grew up, but i have seen much more in the 3 years i have lived in Los Angeles than I ever did growing up in the burgh.
