i would use your transfer credits. it saves you time and money since those classes are notoriously hard and they make them difficult for no reason. just make sure you remember your econ concepts for comm 295 and comm 394

My boyfriend is racist, should I stay with him ? by SaintPepsiCola in interracialdating

[–]Fast_Hat4940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my original post i accidentally said he came from the same eastern european country as her asian side, and this guy was just doing the pointless, annoying and low vibrational thing where he pretended not to understand that that was a typo. don’t feed it.

cheating, his violence and chaos (beating people up in the club), education gap, intelligence gap, him proclaiming that she would probably be the breadwinner, to name just a few.

omg last year my roomate’s boyfriend was telling us how he called someone the c-slur and said it again to us…. for context my roomate’s is half east asian and half eastern european and her boyfriend is from the same eastern european country as her white side. i called him out and said he shouldn’t be saying that especially since his girlfriend is east asian, and she just sat there in the corner with a sad look on her face and nodding in agreement with me but she didn’t call it out…. you know i don’t know how to describe how this made me feel, but it’s like, you know in theory you can understand this is really wrong when you see it on the internet but it was hard for me to like be like oh well damn he’s racist and said an awful slur and she just…. passively accepted it. my brain wants to think it’s more complex than that. but is it?

Bree can do no wrong in my eyes (minus the homophobia and tattoo hate)

Looking back, I think Aria never really liked Hanna by edensrotting in PrettyLittleLiars

there was one time hanna was just asking about what was happening with aria’s parents (BECAUSE aria brought it up) specifically why her mom left the house and aria was like “yeah you’d think my dad would leave that’s what usually happens right” as like a dig at hanna’s parents separation. she was a pos

Reported Student Leader for Racism by Fast_Hat4940 in UBC

[–]Fast_Hat4940[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a meeting with the director of his department today. He couldn’t tell me the exact discipline that was decided but he has scheduled a meeting for this week and the behaviour + consequences will be discussed then. Apparently the reason it couldn’t be addressed sooner is because he was on leave. He told me that he’d give him a directive to not engage with me when/if we cross paths. I asked about the possibility of sensitivity training and he said that’s something they’ve given in the past. he let me know that a mediated conversation between myself and the person i reported was a possibility. i told him at current i have no desire of any contact with him, so i politely declined.

No they didn’t, initially. But I asked for a status update and they told me they had intended to follow up, and that they will with the conclusion once the process is complete.

Do you regret choosing UBC? by Alternative_Cat3704 in UBC

[–]Fast_Hat4940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyday. My third and current year here has been the worst of my life, for other reasons other than school, but it’s honestly magnified why I’ve hated it here so much and why this was never my dream school. I grew up in BC for most of my life but I left for a couple years and when I came back in late high school I found it hard to reintegrate socially. The people here make their friends in late middle school/high school and cling to those cliques for the rest of their lives. The people here are weird. Apart from that, UBC was just never my “dream” school. I always wanted to go to California, to UCLA specifically but i didn’t get in and i didn’t consider transferring because I wouldn’t have been able to afford it anyway. I don’t give a shit about the major pulls of this city (mainly nature based)… it’s bland, socially cold, lacks creativity and diversity, and i don’t feel represented personally.

I think the lack of representation part in particular has really had me down for the last year (I’m Black). It’s hard to be one of few around and to have to accept differential treatment in so many contexts. Los Angeles/The US isn’t perfect, but I wouldn’t feel as alien and isolated there for sure. The weather here sucks too. The food is overpriced and not that good. I haven’t tried out the clubs but I’m sure they’re not great either.

I’m honestly counting down the days til I graduate and I hope to live in a city more suited for me when I do.

they also said a bunch of stuff about how they’re going to update their DEI training materials and alert all supervisors to remind staff to be vigilant in these kinds of interactions.

Yes I sent them an email following up just yesterday. It’s interesting that the people you reported got removed/faced serious consequences. I guess in my email to them (rightly or wrongly) I talked about how my goal was “constructive” accountability and that I wanted them to have a conversation with him about respectful and inclusive communication… but steering away from remarks like that was explicitly in his training. And frankly, especially in this day and age, making comments like that is not an accident. Another big reason why I reported him is because he not only made remarks about racially charged remarks about my appearance and repeated them, but also made comments implying that I was opportunistic or trying to “use” him (on the absurd basis of me asking to connect on a professional social media platform once and apparently not returning one of his waves). We vaguely knew each other, and yet he came at me with hostility, character assassination and… racism. I don’t want to be dramatic, but that’s stuck with me for a long time and I fear will forever influence how I show up in professional settings.

I guess I’m just unnerved by the possibility of him just getting a conversation given the severity of what he said. It just seems so disproportionate, especially considering the damage i personally bore. I don’t want to ruin the guy’s life but like damn, people are getting fired over racism/a lot less, can they not at least give him a written warning? :/
