By far one of the best videos on the Internet.

What is Tumblr, you ask?

Born out of Verizon’s work to encourage children to become interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), this ad spot does a really good job of showing us how the language we use when we speak to girls, in particular, can impact the choices they make.

Men and women have equal potential to be good at math. But, in societies in which women are told that they shouldn’t or can’t do math, they don’t. And, as Fatistician said, “math is a skill”: people who think practicing it is pointless won’t practice it. And those who don’t practice, won’t be any good at it…

So, isn’t it time we told her she’s pretty brilliant too?

Not as impactful as I'd like the video to be, but still good.

Good, I always thought he didn’t have enough imagination for mathematics.

I really enjoyed this video. And I finished a book today because of it.

Welcome to the Internet.

You've stated that oppression against white people does not exist. I disagree. Listing a list of oppression of minorities, does not mean oppression against Caucasians doesn't exist. For example: admission to university. If two students have similar GPAs, SATs, and extracurriculars, but one is black or hispanic, they will be chosen over the Caucasian candidate solely based on ethnicity, to boost diversity. That particular white candidate did nothing wrong, yet was oppressed based on race.

bitch i’m taking my hair down i don’t give a fuck about white rhetoric tonight go write in your diary

"When some white college applicants wonder if they are not getting into competitive schools, because so many of the spaces go to minorities, they are connecting their individual experience up with a conception of the larger social structure… When you look at the data, you will realize that it is absolutely impossible for most college rejections to be due to affirmative action. — (Giddens 5)”

There is a ton of info on that link. I suggest you educate yourself.

[doubleorknot]

Thank you for your civil reply.  I read through the post.  It was really informative.  The post you sent me focused on scholarship representation.  Do you have something similar, but more focused on college admissions?  

[livelongandlovespock]

The link also addresses admission decisions based on race through affirmative action which is what your original question is referring to.

In example, the first racism school link: http://fyeahcracker.tumblr.com/post/39027719853/hard-truths-affirmative-action

In addition, I’m pretty sure other tumblr pages have covered this like racism school, reverseracism etc etc. Also feel free to google it.

Either way the point is that, in a Eurocentric society, white people cannot be oppressed. Affirmative action, which doesn’t even do much in terms of diversifying work places and college, is simply a reaction to the Eurocentric structures set up by society and is used to compensate for the past and give minorities a leg up however, even then “the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action programs in general—by far—have been white women.”

[doubleorknot]

Thank you for the link livelongandlovespock.  The gist of the article states that if affirmative action did not exist the acceptance rate of Caucasian males would only increase 1.5%.  Fascinating.  However, there was no link to verify the source.  No problem, I will further research the topic.   To lookatthewords, I wasn’t aware that I felt “owed” anything?  In fact, I wasn’t even expecting a response.  If you didn’t want to engage in conversation, fine, but your responses have told me “to write in my diary” and, apparently, I am a “white supremacist” who should be embarrassed of himself.  Try not to let your hate eat you alive.

[lookatthewords]

Apparently you think i owe “Caucasians” (which note DOES NOT MEAN WHITE PEOPLE.) and white women an apology because apparently white people are oppressed in hong kong (you’re bothering me because of that reverse racism post but didn’t bother to read the links that discussed white people in foreign countries where they’re the minorities and i’m not doing any fucking research but my tags discuss this greatly…go look yourself) and blonde white women are not taken seriously because they’re blonde like ?????? wtf is this garbage? You sent these two on anon for the sole fact that you know you’re speaking trash and you were embarrassed. lmao like you’re literally comparing the treatment of poc, which has been and still is murder and enslavement and rape and torture, being seen as deviant and less attractive and worthy than whites by default, stereotyped as thugs and rapists and criminals and danger by default, ETC ETC to fucking people seeing blondes as less bright, redheads as weaker and frail like huh???

Are blonde white women being murdered for being fucking blonde?! Are they oppressed for being blonde?! hillary clinton is blonde and i think that’s working out well for her…and if people don’t take her seriously despite her position it’s could be because yes, they don’t take women seriously, but are WOMEN OF COLOR Not women too?!  “both of these groups are caucasian” lmfaoo you’re incredibly dense. Did you know that blonde and redheaded WOC exist? Did you?

But what about the female community…am I not a fucking female?! I guess I don’t deal with misogyny? I’m just a slab of color and my blackness erases my femininity? lmao you’re literally taking about the “female community” being oppressed as if it’s separate from me. As if i’m not a woman. But I guess i’m not to you. When you said female community you obviously meant White female community.

Anyhow i’m not wasting anymore energy with your dumb ass here, because it’s clear you only approached me in an attempt to derail the conversation of racism not existing against white people (which it fucking doesn’t…..). You don’t really care about white people in Hong Kong being called “gweilo” and you don’t really care about white women being seen as dumb or frail for their fucking hair color (but lmfao like how is blonde and red hair a race and therefore “Racism.” how is blonde and red hair exclusive to white women. i cant get over that stupidity lmfao)

but shitttt. i bet Renisha Mcbride would’ve loved to be a redheaded white woman when her Black ass stumbled on a White man’s doorstep for help after a car accident, was seen as threatening, and therefore shot in the back of the head as she walked away. Weaker and frail would’ve gotten her far back then, wouldn’t it?

A tip, honey: try not to let your ignorance eat you alive.

[doubleorknot]

I’m impressed.  Look at this verbal mix of vomit and fecal diarrhea you’ve spewed onto the page.  It’s so rank and putrid I can almost feel myself getting pink eye just looking at it.  Oh, and I think I see even see a firm turd floating by your oh so necessary five questions marks.  Gosh, anyone who thinks this is “literally perfect” MUST BE a superfan of “two girls, one cup” to have such appreciation for excrement.  

It also looks like you need to take some meds because I think you just might be Schizophrenic!  Apparently you saw the word apology somewhere?  And about halfway through, somehow the conversation switched focus to you.  I didn’t mention you anywhere, but you hallucinated that I did.  Hon’, you should seek a mental health professional.

And lastly … you’ve stated that you’re 23 and a post-graduate.  Naww.  I can’t possibly believe that!  But I believe I’ve seen excited outbursts like this before.  Oh yeah! I’ve babysat before and I’ve only seen such tantrums by three and four year olds.  It seems that you’re 20 years behind on learning emotional control.  Do you have parental or guardian consent to use the Internet?  

Golly this has been fun, but I don’t argue with children.
