Folks, have you seen this hilarious blowup between two pissy and ignorant kids at Oberlin? I promise you, it’s the best. One of them goes into fits of rage because another one uses a Spanish word. The kids are so stupid that they confuse “your” and “you are” and say things like “for all intensive purposes.” They obviously have no time to do their homework but dedicate tons of time to stupid, self-righteous anger.
Pissy at Oberlin

I am offended by your microaggressive attempts to mock differently proofread writing by 17 year old lackwits who were picked last for intramurals. The war between keyboard Malinches & sensitive dudebros must go on forever! I’m going to faint with anger right now!
AHAHAHA.

I understand the depth of teenage angst but this is really to much.

This doesn’t sound like teenage angst but rather elementary school (8th grade at most – 13 year olds).
I think that a generation of helicopter parents has developmentally stunted the great majority of millenials so their social development is between 6 and 10 or so years behind their chronological age.

I’m not going to blame helicopter parents of millennials (although the coptering doesn’t help). There are hordes of developmentally and emotionally stunted people who are well into their dotage. Why else does Hollywood keep making high school and college movies instead of movies about mature adults with mature attitudes? Why is political life in the US governed by some tantrum or the other? You can’t seriously blame this on wet-behind-the-ears 90’s babies. Yet. 🙂

I keep saying that white people need to stop speaking Spanish, but for some reason nobody in Spain (except the Basques and Catalonians) agrees with me.
Maybe if we sent some Oberlin grads to explain this to them we could get the matter cleared up.

I love the “for all intensive purposes.” How intense does a purpose have to be for it to be included?

The funniest thing is the idea that the word “fútbol” is a cultural appropriation from the Spanish, when it is actually a loan word in Spanish from the English.

You’ve given the non-hispanic kid the perfect counterattack: “Stop appropriating my culture!!”

Well only whites can appropriate so….
Personally I loathe the word fútbol as ugly and un-Spanish sounding. I’ve always greatly preferred ‘balompié’ but Spanish speakers mostly don’t seem to agree with me….

Whenever I hear a person seriously speak about cultural appropriation, I know I’m dealing with a congenital idiot.
It’s probably a good thing I didn’t get a job at one of these rich kid places. I have neither patience nor tolerance for this kind of thing.

People confuse cultural exchange and appropriation all the damn time.

Just imagine all the Lena Dunhams (Oberlin alum) you missed out on!
I grew up in a much more innocent time, where I was more concerned about getting laid and my classes. I didn’t become righteously indignant until the new millenium dawned. Sure I participated in Model UN, did most of my history classes in Latin American history and stumbled upon Richard Delgado by accident, but I was a sweet, sweet summer child ignorant of the offensiveness lurking in a vast atmosphere of microaggressions. Helas! :p

Why do stories like this always seem to come out of Oberlin and other very small, very expensive colleges? I teach at a large public university and I just can’t imagine any of my students doing this or most of the other things that millennials supposedly do. Are small schools just hot-house environments that make people crazy or do those types of schools attract that type of student for some reason.

I think the reason is that rich people’s kids have too much time and energy. My students wouldn’t do this kind of thing either because they all work and often more than one job. Nobody has any energy for this dumbassery.

That might be it. A large percentage of our students work and are very busy. The ones who are from well-off families are mostly here to party, so they also wouldn’t do this stuff.

“The idea that you’d have somebody in government making a decision about what you should think ahead of time or what you should be taught, and if it’s not the right thought, or idea, or perspective or philosophy, that person would be — they wouldn’t get funding, runs contrary to everything we believe about education,” he said. “That might work in the Soviet Union, but that doesn’t work here. That’s not who we are.”
Very well-said. This is somebody who is really against Big Government.
