It turns out that multiculturalists--teachers and demonstrative students alike--cannot even expound on their area of expertise accurately.
"Take hoop earrings, which date to ancient Assyria," Jonathan Zimmerman, who teaches education and history at Penn, writes in The Chronicle of Higher Education. "In Nimrud, located in present-day Iraq, there’s a depiction of King Ashurnasirpal II (884-859 B.C.) wearing thick hoop earrings."
"The ancient Greeks and the Romans wore them, too; so did pirates in many parts of the Western world, who believed that hoop earrings contained healing powers or would protect them from drowning."
"And, yes, hoop earrings were eventually adopted by Latinas in the United States. Starting in the 1980s, young working-class Hispanic women in Southern California donned wide earrings -- alongside baggy shirts and nameplate necklaces-- as symbols of pride and struggle. They didn’t 'invent' hoop earrings; instead, they invested the earrings with a new set of meanings."
"Yet we continue to imagine that every current-day practice descends from some kind of cultural Garden of Eden, where each ethnic or racial group existed in unalloyed form." Zimmerman is the author of Campus Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press, 2016).
By the way, when he was at NYU, where he taught for 20 years, he got rave reviews on Rate My Professor.com.
I’m pissed off that the rest of the world culturally appropriated our electricity.
Multiculturalism = respect for “separate but equal” cultures
“Separate but equal” = Plessy vs Ferguson
Plessy vs Ferguson = Jim Crow
Jim Crow = Segregation and racism
Segregation and racism = multiculturalism
should we seek reparations?
Yeah....I know what you are talking about, but it is not reason to allow this coastal Reconquista and lawlessness in that state to continue.
I have long said that there are parts of CA that are deeply conservative - inland to the east mostly and out of coastal regions and in sparser more self-sufficient areas. I’ve said this many times. In land mass, their (conservative leaning) areas are larger, but they do not have the numbers, and that is what unfortunately counts with regard to voting - which is the key. And it will never get right again as long those coastal regions prosper from commerce with other states.
The ultimate truth is California has to close the borders, eject the illegals and as a state government start acting like a genuine contributing state along with the other states in this union.
We have a boat in Ventura Harbor. There is a swap meet at Ventura College on Sundays. Turns out it is a Mexican swap meet. Hardly a white person insight and no English spoken. Lol
How about if I promise never to put a bone in my nose... we good with that? Hey, I hadda axe.

Re: “They didn’t ‘invent’ hoop earrings; instead, they invested the earrings with a new set of meanings.”
Professor Zimmerman will lose his job if he keeps on using real history and logic in his classes - that’s not permitted on today’s college campuses. That’s hate.
Don’t start appropriating African-style lip rings or lip plugs. Dey’s UGGGLEEE!
Hoop size and IQ are inversely proportional. My observations taken while working in urban ems support this finding on every shift.
The larger the hoops, the easier they are to grab and rip out in a cat fight.

Hominid bipeds are divided into two categories: “People” and “Targets”.
The Inner Beast on display.
In my neck of the woods; the women/girls say:
“The bigger the hoop, the bigger the Ho.”
...when they talk about the other women.
As a single guy at the time, I took that under advisement as an assessment tool....
