i took something like 7 years of spanish and i actually learned quite a bit and at one point could hold a lengthy conversation

then i forget 95% of it so i can only say poo poo like "Puedo ir al bano?" and "Hay dos hombres en mi cama."

me too but i wont admit that i cant remember any of it to my wife. if we walk past people speaking spanish I'll say something like "They're talking about the weather" and she looks impressed

She has ADHD and apparently the teacher said there are some kids in this class that have ADHD, and ADHD is a mental illness, and that's why she circled that. To me ADHD is not a mental disability. It's something she has," says Stiles lmfao

no see, having ADHD abrogates some of your white privilege, you want to proudly label yourself as that

remember how people were saying that it was going to be really funny when some of these social justice types enter the workforce?

behold!


it's really funny that this actually happened. why someone would think talking about pansexuals and demigirls in a middle school spanish class is mystifying :iiam:, but it is very funny

here is the form in question, filled out:

"How much privilege do you have?"

There are certain things that are warning signs for danger. Like finding your front door open when you come home or hearing something rattling while you walk in the desert.

I'd rate that phrase as somewhere between pooping out a kidney and finding a chest burster in your chest xray on the "Nothing good will come of this" scale.

Let's also talk about how it's not "social justice" enough to demand equality. Extra privileges for the select chosen few, because if you're outside the majority, you're a minority, and minorities are ALWAYS oppressed! And how do you fight oppression? By knocking down the majority oppressors to make 'em inferior!

...Bigotry?! Its impossible for any minority to be bigoted! Minorities don't benefit from the power structure!
