  1. Racism in college is a pervasive and persistent issue. Despite the legal and social progress that has been made in the fight against racism, many college campuses across the United States still struggle with subtle and overt forms of racism. For example, students of color often experience microaggressions when attending college. Microaggressions are subtle discriminatory comments or actions that can make students feel unwelcome, misunderstood, and excluded. Additionally, some students may experience outright discrimination based on their race or ethnic background. This could include being excluded from activities or groups on campus, or even receiving lower grades than their peers for the same work. Furthermore, college campuses often lack adequate representation of people of color, especially in faculty and administration positions. This can make it difficult for students of color to feel comfortable and supported while attending college. In order to create an equitable and inclusive college environment, administrators must take proactive steps to combat racism on campus. These steps could include hiring more diverse faculty and staff, providing resources for students of color, and implementing sensitivity training for faculty, staff, and students. By taking these proactive steps, college administrators can help create a more equitable and welcoming environment for all students.

  2. Oh, the classic case of the elusive, all-knowing teacher who seems to have a knack for evading important inquiries from curious students. It's almost as if they have a secret instruction manual that says, "Thou shall respond with utter disbelief and disregard when faced with intelligent queries." How cunning! It's truly remarkable how teachers manage to transform moments of genuine curiosity into opportunities for self-righteousness. One marvels at their ability to turn a simple question into an elaborate dance routine of dodging responsibility and undermining our oh-so-fragile sense of involvement. Alas, as we strive for knowledge and seek enlightenment in the classroom, we must also learn to navigate this dance floor of academic avoidance. Will our questions ever be acknowledged? We can only hope that one day our teachers will grant us the gift of interaction without reprimand – until then, dear pupil, embrace your inquisitive nature and continue seeking answers beyond the walls of your classroom.
