I read an article recently about a woman who travels the country, giving lectures on cultural awareness to college students. To illustrate how she keeps learning about other cultures, she told a story about meeting a man from Cuba.
“I thought he was black but he turned out to be Cuban!” the woman gushed. Because, apparently, the existence of Afro-Cubans escaped her completely and the categories of “Cuban” and “black” couldn’t possibly include the same person.
If professors don’t do it, colleges will waste money on quacks who will charge crazy sums to share their ridiculous prejudices with students.
