I said my prayers and ate all my vegetable and the universe gave me these .gifs of Eva Vica Kerekes, described as the “Czech Christina Hendricks” removing her panties and playing pool. For some reason.
Little Monkeys
Racism always shows up in the most mysterious and unexpected of ways sometimes. Today as I walked into a class where I give my program, the kids were acting unruly and looked burnt out by the day already. In other words, the usual atmosphere of the class. Teacher starts screaming “you’re all acting like your at a…. I don’t know what..” and a kid tries to be smart and blurt out “LIKE WE’RE AT A ZOO.” A kid starts hooting like a monkey and I tell them to stop acting like a bunch of little monkeys because its time to start class - the kids smille and settle down. The teacher looks at me in surprise and tells me not to call them that because I’ll get in trouble, and people have gotten in trouble for that in the past - the kids look uneasy.
It dawns on me that the whole class is nothing but african americans, the teacher is white, and I’m hispanic. Who knows if it was caucasian-political correctness that pushed him to make that comment and to turn my joking into some form of racist remark. I’ll admit I’d totally forgotten that calling someone a “monkey” can be construed as racist, and I probably forgot this because I do not preoccupy my thoughts with racist remarks and metaphors.
What even makes a remark racist?
The fact that it is said, or how someone interprets what is said?
How many people in the world have gently chided children by calling them monkeys, monsters, or some other pet name in general? Its crazy that something that normal becomes taboo, racist, and wrong just because one person may interpet it to be that way.
