Why do these kids hate life omfg. I read the entire thing without writing anything down. I actually had to go back and find something to say. All I came up with was, "The idea that complaining was kind of giving up was taught almost daily..." and "White victimhood and reverse racism..."

"It's hard when you are white." Lol ok.

To be honest, I read this entire thing with a stank look on my face and a furrowed brow the whole time. I could not un-furrow my brow to save my life. I am not even sure what to think of the majority of this article really and it was just obnoxious to read. Even in between student quotes, I did not care to read what was being said. I read it anyway. I get its point (eh as much as I needed to) but I still hated it.

Fortunately, though I know this close mindedness does not only exist in areas where the majority is white privileged kids and I know that it is not only white people that think in this manner etc. etc., but again, fortunately I do not see myself in a position where I will have to deal with this type of mindset so extensively that I would put further time into understanding how it should be dealt with. But as a future educator I also know that I cannot reflect my personal views as I do in a blogpost for a class so I know how I would deal on a smaller scale because I have been trained in doing so from my sensitivity and cultural diversity trainings as well as from experience.

Still hated it.
