OT So I posted this a month ago

I was at the venetian a couple of months ago in the pool. I stay in the shade because I burn and these white college girls were talking about low income POC students. I'm sorry but the way they were talking about them was offensive to me.

It was like they were talking about a pitbull that didn't bite you and how lucky they were. I could tell that they were trying to sound inclusive but it just came off as superiority masked as compassion.

Like when someone says a black guy is "so well spoken"

I wonder if it wasn't something similar. Trying to sound compassionate.

Nobody saw it or responded to it but it was a real occurence. These white girls were talking shit about minorities but acting like they were so enlightened.

I just saw this and it brought back the memory of it.

I saw your previous post about it, I saw this one, but neither one seems to require a response, so that's probably why you didn't get one.

Thanks for not dumbing it down for me at least.
