I gotta ask: what sorta kids take Japanese in the ghetto?

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN my entire school system had a jap immersion program K-12 with a sister school in Japan. But it’s a wealthy district

I did actually. They are somewhat higher tier blacks and Hispanics, (talented 10th) but they're still unimpressive compared to mostly white classes I observed in neighboring districts.

And Seattle just has Chinese classes. Not enough Japanese kids for it to count

I've had to lower my expectations quite a lot.

There was an old amren story about someone like you who was doxxed and (I believe) fired. Never showed any favoritism or treated people worse. He wrote for amren or another site on the side

jfc can we just delete the internet now? Humanity is totally lost. It's stuff like this that made God flood the earth.

no

just not

I wish more high schools had Japanese and Chinese etc

I was lucky mine did

Japanese 100 level classes were the cringiest I took in college though

Most of the atrocious weebs were filtered out when they learned they couldn’t just watch anime

We didn’t even have Italian language classes but we had Japanese....but we had Russian....

In college, the first class you needed for a Japanese minor had 40 people. The last one started with 6 and finished with 2.

...probably both Japanese

I like the Ben Franklin model of language acquisition

One was

The other was me

pfah. I learned to read plenty of Eurostani languages... granted I did that with the benefit of years of foreign language media sources

We don’t fail out of classes ‘round these parts

so you just stop showing up to class?

Technically the other girl was half Japanese and half Bengali

>Bengali
how'd that happen?

Nah that class started with 6, she and I were the only two that passed.

Idk. Wonder what it’s like being your own ethnic group.

Alright, here's how weird the day is: Pewdiepie goes on for a solid ~5 minutes about Yukio Mishima

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNar3Dh9zDk

He also says Fahrenheit 451 is a bad book.
Pewds is making it a tough sell rn

every time my sister talks about "good schools" I am tempted to say "you mean white schools, right?" but I think if I said that she might send her kids to the ghetto school where I work just to show me she's "not racist" -_-

Pewds is wrong on another count: The Cat in the Hat is CLEARLY inferior to Yurtle the Turtle

I love that he is recommending Mishima. One of the first things that comes up online is his nationalism

oh, uh, he also talks about a book written by a Holocaust survivor

If there were a spectrum of /ourguy/-ness to the opposite, he’s more our /our guy/ than not

I'm not so sure about that

I didn’t used to think so. Lately I’m more convinced he’s def more controversial than he lets on

Well more controversial, sure.
But he is not /ourguy/ and it's dangerous to rush out there and start projecting our beliefs onto others

Unless you all can read minds

'cause I can't do that yet.

Lol

@Salo Saloson very measured and reasonable

This spectrum I’m imagining is pretty wide
