Can't teach a old dog new tricks.
Kids, when your parents tell you about your flaws, they are correct. For years, I denied the accusations that I was naive...I was manipulated by a golden retriever today.

ENGL393
Some people may feel outnumbered if say...they are the only African-American in their technical writing class at 3:30 pm in the Taliaferro building (this is not based off of experience). But if I was in this situation, I would use this to my advantage. For example:
1) Apparently, if a joke is not politically correct, "the majority," will look to you for approval on whether it can be laughed at or not. Scenario A can be seen below:
Professor: How was you user manual on handshakes?
Student: It was so easy.
Professor: Well apparently you haven't seen black people give handshakes.
Class: *Observe lone African-American female sitting in the left-handed desk, which can
only make her more of a minority, for approval.*
Lone African-American female: *Chuckle*
Class: *Laugh!!*
Random female of the "majority" persuasion: THAT'S SO WRONG!!
2) Explain to many, that your choice of writing topics do not involve "the struggle."
Student: Are you writing about the welfare system?
Lone African-American female: I will stick to my topic about signing in blood, cause that seems like a bigger issue in the community.
3) Let people know that you are not up-to-date in all aspects of urban culture.
Student: Did you watch the BET awards?
Lone African-American female: I am in college...so I don't watch that channel.
Student: ...But Ludacr....
Lone African-American female: I DONT WATCH IT!!!
In conclusion, I love people who say whats on their mind, like Joe Biden. Give me a joke that violates social code, and I will fall in love with you. From this experience...I mean this scenario, I also learned, that I love the idea of fooling people into believing that any sentence with the word "black" in it is inconsiderate.
