Oh, thank goodness. I thought ASU stood for "Appalachian State U."
Not that you couldn't get a goofball assignment there, of course, but at least it wasn't this one :-).
And they're wondering why the male University population is down....
ASU should get sued.
Myself, I'd have chosen homeless and unemployed -- it's just a game after all -- and simply blown the whole thing off.
Paid by tax-payers?
Wonder what they did with the Muslims?
Or Hispanics fresh from the old country, where Blacks are the lowest kind of human. And many won't even touch a Black. Guess they are afraid it will rub off.
Or Liberals/Lefties of every stripe who...oops, almost forgot they don't have mirrors in the department that came up with this little exercise.
I'd be willing to volunteer as lesbian.
Oprah said once that one day, she will have a show on the bias among blacks among skin color. (I saw the show).
She never has. Wonder if she ever will.
Wonder if, in their role-playing...they pitted light-skinned black against dark-skinned black.
Doubt it.
Sorry...you've got to be an African-Asian-Native American double-amputee attention-deficit lesbian to qualify.
This is America. No one needs a job that bad.
"Oprah said once that one day, she will have a show on the bias among blacks among skin color. (I saw the show)."
Maybe you should remind her of that promise. Bet she never does it though.
I had a friend who auditioned for "In Living Color" (remember that show). He was turned down because he wasn't "Black" enough.
That said, if a bunch of students at a publicly funded university want to engage in one of these things, I suppose I don't have any real objection as they don't use any more university resources than any other legitimate activity. Lots of things done at universities are silly or stupid, some of them turn out to have been worthwhile, others not. That's the marketplace of ideas.
Let's take the sexual orientation out of it and just make him a meth user, like many homosexuals are.
Should the church accept his meth addiction and pretend it is a wonderful trait?
If it weren't pathetically sad, that story would be hilarious. Alas, there is nothing to laugh at here.
My husband had to do this as a college prof about 18 years ago, when it was pretty unheard of. He'd been in business, decided to switch to teaching. (Lasted for about 1/2 year!!). He said some hispanic activists came and made them take a card for a new identity, etc etc. HE came home FURIOUS, just furious. He is hardly ever that mad. I think if it were now and we were more aware of this hogwash on campus, he would have spoken up or sued. He was just livid.
I was told recently that I need not apply to teach at a High School I had been volunteering at, even tho I am credentialed in that field, because 'they wanted teachers who matched the students' racial backgrounds.' I know I matched the WHITE FEMALE students' backgrounds there. I told them I wouldn't apply to work there, if that were the case, if it was the last job on earth. hahah.
ASU student objects to sensitivity exercise
They sure missed out on a lot of fun if you are the real Betty Boop.
