My poor professor has to pronounce 100 Spanish names during the roll

That's horrible.

I would just tell them to pick an American name.

lol

Do you really want to be outnumbered 100:1 though?

Hey professor. How about we start off this General Bio lab with RACE AND IQ

I'm tired of giving away European names tbh

I tried to do that once. However, the professor just shut it down quickly.

@Deleted User True. Those names should be earned.

There was a time when Carlos and other names like it were strictly European.

Why kind of name is Hoffman

Indeed.

@Doc34 A very (((interesting))) name.

Welp. That’s my professors name

Fucking lol

jk

Phew

It's actually German.

It's an old German name.

Hmmmmm

@Doc34 I got you though. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@Doc34 Go the easy route and ask if race is a social construct. That'll see where the teachers leanings and how sane they are.

Indeed.

This poor old blonde woman has to look out into a sea of brown people. It wasn’t long ago her students looked like her.

Like most German names there are a number of Ashkenazi who took them on. Stein means "stone" for instance, but everyone associates that with European jewry.

Not really accurate or fair.

I’ll have to stay vigilant lads

tfw you were colourblind for most of your life

oh shit

@Deleted User I'm sorry about that.

Granted it's spelled more traditionally.

Oh.

Lol. I'm not offended, it's just something to consider. Not every berg, stein or Weiss is Jewish

In fact most likely aren't.

Alright. Thanks for the tip.

My aunt - rest her soul - was a Berg by marriage only.

Jews took common names of host populations. Examples of this practice reach past even roman times

Yep

"for business" they'll say

"berg" is German for mountain.

@Deleted User So Iceberg means "ice mountain"?
