tell me about all the reasons, besides being a teacher, that you have to yell at black kids for being snobby

yeah honestly it's hard for me to think of a teaching context where calling a kid snobby would come up

i've literally never yelled at a kid, black or white, and couldnt imagine a single situation where i'd have to tell a black kid he was snobby, let alone it happening so frequently in my life that I'd seek anonymous advice on the internet on how to handle this constant and unwelcome occurance

first of all, we are talking about teachers, and secondly, saying "black" is just making an unnecessary racial distinction that you damn well know should be irrelevant

That was a joke attempt that obvs went nowhere, DJP. I am nowhere near edgy enough to get away with that, clearly.

Whaaaaa . . . ? I yell at my teenage niece and nephew all the time.

kind of amazed that so many are/were unaware of the meaning of "gypped/jipped". thought it was pretty well understood that that's a slur. but i just checked with my gf, and she defended it, first saying that it's spelled differently, then that "there aren't many of them here" (in america). uh...
then again, i thoughtlessly used "mongoloid" to mean idiot in a conversation with a chinese friend a few years ago, and she went off on me quick.

How old are you Contenderizer? Just curious cause I thought that had been out of use for a really long time in the US. UK is a diff story. "Mong" is still used fairly frequently there, I think.

sort of a blessing, "racist" is better than "politically incorrect" anyway

a note from the mac osx dictionary (oxfords)
usage: 1 The terms Mongoloid, Negroid, Caucasoid, and Australoid were introduced by 19th-century anthropologists attempting to classify human racial types, but today they are recognized as having very limited validity as scientific categories. Although occasionally used when making broad generalizations about the world's populations, in most modern contexts they are potentially offensive, especially when used of individuals. Instead, the names of specific peoples or nationalities should be used wherever possible. 2 The term mongol, or Mongoloid, was adopted in the late 19th century to refer to a person with Down syndrome, owing to the similarity of some of the physical symptoms of the disorder with the normal facial characteristics of eastern Asian people. The syndrome itself was thus called mongolism. In modern English, this use of mongol (and related forms) is unacceptable and is considered offensive. In scientific, as well as in most general contexts, mongolism has been replaced by the term Down syndrome (first recorded in the early 1960s).

I didn't mean that it's technically considered OK to still say Mong in the UK just that you still hear it there a lot more than you do here ime.

I think 'jipped' is an interesting case cause it really does seem so far removed for a lot of people. can something that starts out racist eventually just become a word? most people have no clue about the etymology of most words they use.

whats even worse is when you try to play NEGRO against a black friend and learn that it isnt even a word

that really is pretty awkward
― omar little, Thursday, 19 January 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
i think that was supposed to be a joke? but "Negro" is a word. but it's a proper noun, i guess, so maybe it doesn't count? i have devoted too much thought to this.
