That does not sound like a course an average teen will look twice at (most people took math because they had to, not because they wanted to). They need to take a page from colleges and name it something to catch their attention. "How to survive in the real world" would be a good start.

The one etiquette thing I'm terrible at is acknowledging strangers. I absolutely hate it when people I don't know say "hello" or "good morning" while I'm passing them on the street. It just seems invasive and creepy to attempt to engage a stranger.

Are you British?

Everyone just opens the door for themselves? Or just always hold the door for the person behind you, regardless of their gender?

I'm with you on everything except the escalators. Stand to the right!!!

I also find the "crack" trend annoying, but putting the name aside, crack pie is something special. It's possibly the best dessert I've ever had.

I'm with you on the using "crack" to describe "addictively" good food or whatever, but Momofuku is a restaurant by a Korean dude. David Chang. So the white assumption needs to go, the rest is cool though.

Yes, but . . . have you HAD the pie? It's really good.

TEAM PIE FOREVER.

If a white person were in-frame, dangling the carrot, that would be pretty damn racist. But, there is not. So, for one to conclude this is racist, one must assume it is racist. That would be some pretty textbook circular reasoning*

I believe the 'racist' angle is coming from the assumed off-screen white person- the metaphorical 'White Man', if you will, who is dangling the carrot.

Found one!

So an image that depicts all white people is exclusionary and an image that depicts all black people is racist and an image that shows one person of color is tokenism.

I'm glad Mark is finally free from their chains and able to deliver these hard-hitting editorials.

You're right, it's not racism. It's colorism. And it's harmful because people with darker skin tones in that region get discriminated against because of it and by promoting and using these (often dangerous) skin creams you are encouraging discrimination against a whole lot of other people based on nothing but the…

It's not really racist. They just aren't super aware to the hyper-sensitive PC train that's rolling through the Western hemisphere right now. Their culture is way different. Asian countries are absolutely obsessed with having porcelain skin. The more white and untouched by the sun you are, the more attractive you are…

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Other than the word "white," the ad doesn't have any other verbal or visual references to Caucasian ethnicity. Isn't it kind of ethnocentric to immediately assume that the ad is about becoming Caucasian?

Your assumptions sound reasonable and well founded. Get out, you don't belong here.
