It doesn't need to be a "halo" game in the game play sense.
Halo wars has been good, I personally loved ODST.
A GTA or LA Noire style halo might be interesting
ODST was one of my favorite games.
I just had to coach a kid through a damned middle school lesson.
Some kid up in New York, 8th grade, English - Language Arts.
He's been asked to write an essay on 'Privilege'.
Accompanying worksheet:
```Aim; To explore the idea of adversity through the lens of identity and race
Do Now: Add to your vocab list:
Meritocracy: A society/system where people are rewarded based on hard work and achievement.
Merit: Quality or action that deserves reward (or punishment)
What is/are the differences between between Privilege and Merit?
One is earned (merit).
What is it that makes talking about race difficult for white people?
How is racism a “system” and not a scientific quality?
What are your thoughts on the 3rd grade teacher and her students questions?
How has being white shaped the sense of identity for many of these people?
What does it mean to be “colorblind”? How do you feel about it?
What is the privilege that comes with being white?```
This video was accompanying the lesson, and referenced in the questions: The 3rd grade teacher, Sense of Identity, and 'Colorblind'.
sad truth is that the kid is also gonna be in trouble if he doesn't write an anti-white essay
he can't just write "the concept of privilege is used in a modern racist society to ignore the basic merit a person possesses" in there
so this is those tech bros they always talk about?
@RyeNorth should have just told him to write "all whites deserve death" and see what he got for a grade later.
I would have told him privilege is a racist concept used to keep white people from defending themselves or having an opinion.
but, you see, my approach wouldn't get him murdered by the lynch mob
that's a good one liner
"How has being white shaped the sense of identity for many of these people?"
I thought white people didn't have an identity, or that they were not allowed to have one?
Except, you know... when talking about privilege, *then* white people exist...
„White people“ 🙄 tell a french guy that he is just the same as a brit or a german...
Tell a muslim terrorist the difference.
Tell a black south African out to 'kill the white farmer' the difference.
Tell a muslim terrorist the difference between a black guy and a white guy
they are all non-believers
Are you really going to sit there and tell me that other racial identitarians, who see themselves as <race> first, aren't going to see white people as one giant monolith?
That they care about the difference between a Canadian and an American? A French and a German?
