#1 Maybe you [Americans] should translate all textbooks to Ebonics?

#2 No one forces you to attend Columbia or any other university in America.

Notice the success of the Asians. They too notice success in life and history and are keen to exploit it. Up till around 1700 China had been "the" power and civilization in the world. Then these upstart European states showed up on the globe far away from home. The problem for the Chinese was a cyclic history of dynasties that rose and collapse as each spent its time trying to maintain its status quo. The Euros lived in a dynamic world of conflict and chaos that sparked social, economic, and technological change and advance. When they showed up on the Asians shores, the Chinese, accustomed to being the power in the world, thought their problem was not following the strictures of old and efficiently maintain that status quo. The Japanese figure it was the technology and organization and embraced it. They got so good at it, they too were able to join in on the conflict and chaos. The Koreans would follow suit. The Chinese would not wake up will the 80s and have been on a run since then. Their success demonstrates they know something you obviously don't or refuse to recognize as many others wrapped up with their self centered egos.

Five years of college... down the drain!

#4 Totally not her fault, yup, that's her generation. She is the smartest, never lost a soccer game and has the trophies to prove it, tolerant super woman. Go to another college if they don't teach to your liking...

#5 Well things are tough all over. If you haven't got anything out of the place in 5 years, then you better give the path a rethink, using all the logic you have acquired in all those years of higher edumication.

We could write a computer program to do that. But it would be racist because the computer was invented by The White Man.

It's not hard to see why the gal feels bad. Pretty much everything that makes the modern world modern was created or invented by The White Man. If you define your identity as being Not-White, there is not a whole lot left to be proud of. Besides peanut butter.

But not to worry, The White Man is a big tent. Anyone can join up. Because it is not about skin color or gender, it's about culture. Dr. Ben Carson, born a black ghetto baby in Detroit, is a White Man. Condoleezza Rice, White Man. Same with Mia Love and Clarence Thomas. Or Asians, in general.

And unlike overweight black women ragging on gay men for appropriating their speech patterns and mannerisms, The White Man doesn't care about "cultural appropriation". Feel the urge to design a microchip, cure a disease, invent a dessert, drive a race car, sing Broadway show tunes? Have at it! The more, the merrier. The White Man is a big, big tent.

#13 We have black universities in America, and open borders so she can apply to a university in a non-white country if she needs.

#14 A minstrel arrived at Mizzou
To major in ragtime kazoo.
He started a cakewalk
To fight against rape-talk...
They threw him out on his wazoo.
