Diary of a would be Medical Examiner: day two

So, in my English comp class, I was told that I didn’t experience racism while I lived in Hawaii. That it was actually just a reaction from the colonization of the islands. Now, I’m not saying that natives have no reason to still be pissed about that. That’s not my issue. My issue is that my white professor Mark completely disregarded my personal experiences in Hawaii.

Look, I get that being unfriendly doesn’t count as racism. But making jokes about how it must have been a long swim and oh, look, your back is wet, isn’t that funny? Those are racist jokes.

It kind of upset me.

I had a couple of glasses of w(h)ine after that class. No me gusta.

I’m hoping it gets better since this professor “Mark” plans on having us read a lot of feminist papers.
