Here are the Latest Inappropriate Responses to Virginia
Yale, one of the most prestigious Theatre Departments in the World, has banned realistic looking weapons in stage productions.
Yeah.
And, a student, who just so happened to be Asian, was charged with disorderly conduct for an essay he wrote for a creative writing class. Yup. The teacher was SO DISTURBED that she reported him. And rather than maybe, say, REACH OUT to the child, they fucking call the cops and have him arrested.
How I love The United States and its all or fucking nothing style of dealing with crisis.
I wrote a play in high school about a girl who kills a guy because she cheated on her boyfriend with him and became dellusional about the threat the other boy presented. Maybe I should have been arrested. Or, no, wait, maybe my creative writing teacher kinda knew who I was and while maybe he did talk to my guidance couselsor (I don't know, I was never tapped about it), kinda figured that I was probably just stretching my writing legs into less vanilla territory. Apparently, today, I'd be carted off to jail...oh wait..I'm not Asian.
I've got to get out of this country.

I hate you so bad.
That is RIDICULOUS! I don't understand what goes through a person's head that they think, "Well, my student is Asian, and he just wrote a very impresive twenty page short story that has some fairly violent issues highlighted... I'm calling the cops." What? Really? How hard is it to realize that it's a work of fiction?
This makes me so angry... and sad, really.
(Oh, I'm totally calling the cops on you, LC).
Plus... PLUS!!!! I can't stand when a a crime is commited, and every person that shares the criminal's ethnic background becomes suspect.
After the Oklahoma City bombing, did we have a "white scare"?
IT'S SO STUPID!!!
