Not only did he disrespect the student-teacher aspect but he also made it a hostile work environment. Summing up the encounter, she states, “Anyways. When she leaves his office, he calls after her, “You can’t handle it!” According to her Twitter report, he tells her that he knows that AU does not have a problem with systemic racism, because he himself has never seen it. She has tried to tell her professor and employer what it is like to be Black in America he is adamant that he himself is not racist and therefore her premise, that “White people have stereotyped Black people,” is false on the face of it.

You have pride in that?Īt one point I say, “you will never understand racism like I do”ĭr: Oh really? White people invented racism!īy the end of the hour, the student is in tears. What follows in the staccato bursts of Twitter is a detailed description of an hour-long conversation with her professor, who has taught at AU since 1990, an escalating argument about stereotyping, racism, and White privilege, as remembered by the student. Her own summary of the essay: “My paper was about the stereotypes of Black people in America, how they were created and how they are still perpetuated onto black people to be one of the characteristics to hold a Black people to a 2nd-class citizenship.” The comment from the rubric is reproduced in her Twitter feed: She is a reader for the history professor she is so angry with he had just returned to her a paper from Fall semester with a grade of 74. Cause I’m going to file a formal complaint.” I had this argument with my professor today and I’ll go into detail about it later. “I am mentally exhausted with the white male professors at AU. “Might as well say what happened to me yesterday while I’m not paying attention to chapel,” she writes.

If she can’t accept it, she’s not a good girlfriend.Ten a.m. But imo what you actually need is to be able to tell her that you don’t want to be her personal photographer all the time, and for her to be able to accept that. If it was just that she was asking you nicely to take pictures of her and you wanted to learn to take better pictures, that would be one thing. Doesn’t your desire to look at the art itself matter? I would be so turned off by her selfishness here. I love art museums and I personally think that taking photos in them is not a good way to experience art at all. I would be very annoyed if my SO expected me to spend our whole trip to an art museum or gallery taking pictures instead of letting me appreciate and experience the art for myself. But she should understand that you are not her servant or employee, and you don’t exist just to follow her around taking perfect pictures of her. To be clear, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with how she wants to take pictures. She sounds like her attitude around this is immature and selfish.
