White privilege makes you insensitive and oblivious to much.
This is what liberals really believe

My question is why not make the lesson about a favorite food? The topic of a writing exercise makes a difference to the writer. I understand that. It would be unfair to grade a child based on the ability to describe something they are unfamiliar with, but that's just an unfortunate consequence of living in a country of which you are not a native, and not something "racist".
It's cultural if anything. A russian child would have as hard a time as a somalian child with this assignment.
Well said. Is a black, Hispanic or Asian child born and raised in America going to be any less familiar with a PB&J than a white kid born and raised in America?
For those not from America many different things could/would be different culturally. For Americans that's American privilege, not white privilege.
You are pretty fucking stupid, Zaps.
Sorry, but it is indeed QUITE POSSIBLE for a child of Asian heritage to be raised in the good ol US of A to be unfamiliar with a PB&J.
Well considering how well the Asian community tends to do on test scores and education I don't think their issue is the POSSIBILITY of a child not knowing about a PB&J.
You can't see the forest for the trees my man if you think this is the issue in education.
The thing is, it's only angry Whitey Righties with a persecution complex that are making this an issue in education.
Yes, this Portland principal sounds like an angry whitey righty with a persecution complex. Makes total sense.

Apparently there's more than one thread on this topic. The topic being an article published 14 months ago about an incident that happened even further back.
There's plenty of real racism going on as we speak, but for some reason this old news has conservatives upset. I'm trying to figure out why.
Who knew you went to public school!So glad I'm not in public school anymore.
