9:41a	Металобрухт В Харькове на Залютино был специальный человек, ходивший по улицам и кричавший точу ножи, ножницы, мясорррубки! Здесь тоже есть такой человек; правда, интересы у него иные и кричит он Alteisen! Ни разу не видел ни одного из них вживую. Current Mood: sleepy (7 Comments | Comment on this)

5:44p	Racism A Missouri woman asked Merriam-Webster to update its definition of racism and now officials will make the change "This revision would not have been made without your persistence in contacting us about this problem," Chambers said in the email, which was provided to CNN. "We sincerely thank you for repeatedly writing in and apologize for the harm and offense we have caused in failing to address this issue sooner." Peter Sokolowski, an editor at large at Merriam-Webster, told CNN that their entry also defines racism as "a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles" and "a political or social system founded on racism," which would cover systematic racism and oppression. "I think we can express this more clearly to bring the idea of an asymmetrical power structure into the language of this definition, but it's there," Sokolowski said. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)
9:46p	Saying the Wrong Thing In the UCLA case, Gordon Klein, lecturer in accounting, was responding to an emailed request from students who identified themselves as nonblack allies of their black peers. According to screenshots of the exchange shared with Inside Higher Ed, the group of students asked Klein for a "no-harm" final exam that could only benefit students’ grades, and for shortened exams and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects. In light of recent “traumas, we have been placed in a position where we much choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter,” the students wrote. “We believe that remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor and therefore staying silent is not an option.” Theirs was “not a joint effort to get finals canceled for non-black students,” the self-identified allies wrote, “but rather an ask that you exercise compassion and leniency with black students in our major.” Referring to the May 25 murder of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was restrained by police in Minneapolis, Klein responded, “Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment, given the tragedy in Minnesota.” “Do you know the names of the classmates that are black?” he asked. “How can I identify them since we've been having online classes only?” Are there any students who “may be of mixed parentage, such as half black-half Asian?” Klein continued. “What do you suggest I do with respect to them? A full concession or just half?” Current Mood: amused (9 Comments | Comment on this)
