I hate everyone today.
My most beloved teacher very innocently recounted a story that happened in Rome to him one year when he tried to give a transient woman with a dead/dying baby an apple, and in response she spat at him, cursed him and chased him into a tomb.
He called her a G~. But that's not really a big deal. I know it's partly cultural on his part, because of his being raised in Scotland and his father refering to any transient person as a G~, nevermind that he's very understanding, and taking it up with him privately would probably solve this, which I had originally just intended to do and move on.
My problem was not with him making a choice of words that I honestly think he doesn't know how offensive it was. I'm sure this actually happened to him. I'm also sure that he doesn't believe that an entire culture is transient. I pretty much think he, taking after his Scottish father, thinks G~ refers to transient peoples. That's him being unknowingly ignorant, which makes me think no less of him. I'm also not saying that it's a widely Scottish thing to use G~ to mean that, but it was where he grew up (he's recounted stories of his father telling him to beware of G~, but this was before I was even aware how offensive the word was, and he wasn't refering to a culture, he was refering, albeit wrongly, to a type of people, basically, any and all beggars.)
My problem was the student response.
Someone behind me then replied that "They always have a dead baby."
To which my best friend quipped "I bet they share the baby."
My best friend. Who I have talked to about this before.
I know you're all thinking "Well, Celeblin let them have it."
No, I didn't.
Not because of cowardice, but in part because we were in the middle of class, a class which I had originally been enjoying, and in part because I was so angry that nothing that would have came out of my mouth would help the situation at all.
Especially seeing as my first thought was "Can anyone who's a racist ******** kindly shut their goddamn ******** idiot mouths and sit on spikes?"
I literally almost couldn't talk for the rest of class due to anger and basically started anger crying on my way to my next class. My friend then replied "I'm sure he didn't mean it."
In which case I also said very little to because I wasn't ******** upset at the Prof for making a slip he didn't even know was a slip, I was mad at her and the s**t behind me who decided to pick up on the fact that the woman was carrying a sick child, and run with it, her especially, because she knows that the word is offensive.
s**t re-goddamn ******** beans a** cake bucket.
That about explains that.

The Indubitable Katie-Kat patch99329 Dandelion Dreamer SpaceTerminal Destiny So, I have started another "quest". Just so I can put my opinion on the subject without being influenced by my older sister. I'm going to read Twilight. rofl I refuse to read Twilight in fear of finding that I actually love it. Same. I'm sticking to the 'Twighlight is not the only vampire story out there. WTF happened to Bam stokers Dracular? (my favourite book)' stance. I wouldn't worry too much; I wound up throwing it across the room in disgust multiple times, finishing it only out of a sense of obligation. It was terrible. I mean, I read some pretty bad stuff as brain candy, but I'm talking, like, worse than Eragon. Only upside was that some of the purple prose was unintentionally funny just 'cause it was ridiculous beyond telling.
Oooh, I had found a website once that someone had summarized the chapters that was absolutely hilarious. It made me decide not to read it. I had made the mistake with Eragon before, and I wasn't going to ruin vampires for me. *nods* Bram Stoker's Dracula is still my favorite, next to Anne Rice's series.
If I manage to find the site, I'll post a link. |
