Did my lit teacher just meme me for the semester?

Ideally you should only read dead white males.
But what's the course, maybe there's a reason? If so, why did you pick it
>>8310821
Yes. That's a gutter trash reading list on every level.
YOU JUST GOT MEMED SON
>>8310821
kek dude I'm teaching the course and I just memed you SO HARD! xD
>>8310821
You should switch classes IMMEDIATELY unless you want your entire semester to be about black lives matter and how you're evil for being white. Minority literature about being a minority is ALWAYS terrible.

You could become the class heckler.

Is it the same guy posting it
>>8310821
modern humanities are a meme and completely worthless if you aren't aiming for academia or teaching after
take the autodidact route or get meme'd on
>>8310821

>>8310866
>Is it the same guy posting it
You know it is.

It would be memeing if they did it for a joke, but trust me I've been in your position a lot, it's no joke. The best thing? Just keep your mouth shut in tutorials/discussion and use platitudes if you really want the participation mark.
Ruh-roh!
Reading about...other people's experiences??
That's no reason to read!
I read for social validation on being well informed upon texts that other white dudes have decided are important

White people books are other people experience, it's not one massive homogenous group.

I'll have a black coffe, please

This.
It's funny how the alt-right, in the same fashion as SJWs, have shoehorned 'white people' into the same status McNamara thought of 'commies' - as one big, amorphous bloc that acts like a locust swarm
To be fair though aside from Chinese and Indian classics (and their shitty neighbouring spinoffs), all modern nonwhite authors are just imitations of American literature (see Murakami) or aphoristic memes (see Mishima)

>skipping every single great author to discuss modern politically minded crap
ye i hope yer baiting but a lot of redditors are on here.

# of white people in western civ daily facing systemic racism: 0
Alright so its clear that other races hold other views whites cant pay correct due towards
>>8311066
Not the anon you're replying to but I'd like to add a few things
>Irish used to up until they got their state, Polish did too, so did Croats and many other white nations.
See the thing here? 'White' is completely fucking arbitrary. Some 'white' nations did plenty, while others were governed by Roaches. Some 'white' nations produced plenty of authors, while others are dwarfed literarily by Japan in that field. Some 'white' nations have antipathy with other 'white' nations. As an Italian-Australian, I feel that the alt-right who like >>8311049
said, strip me and other whites of individuality by throwing all of us into one fucking group.
>>8311072
White is pretty arbitrary, but blacks love their division of people into races.
Don't know why exactly, guess it's their nationality of sorts.
>>8311052
Yeah, and that unique viewpoint is boring
>>8310838nice meme :^)
>>8311052
lol all of them thanks to Jewish usurous opression???

That's pretty embarrassing for you to believe that

No it's pretty embarrassing to have to sit in a job interview and apologize for your degree because of the amount of saturation and shit quality control in the humanities.
When an English degree does not even guarantee basic grammar it's beyond useless.

what is soviet union
what is kgb infiltration
Dropped the class, saved my ass
Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization.
Switch to STEM, you dolt.

Grade inflation was a mistake.
There were people who passed my ENGL 101 class in college with As on every assignment but with huge amount of grammatical errors, poor usage, high school level diction, etc. Fills me with spite knowing that the system will see them as my equals.
>>8310821
Drop that class.
>>8310821
I don't know any of these works. Is it possible to be less Plebeian for knowing of fewer things?
>>8310821
All the freshman at my uni had to read Between the World & Me.
I thought it was alright... it wasn't really a novel, just a way-too-long essay that covered the same tragedies of being a black dude in the U.S. again and again.
It definitely didn't bring forward any ideas I haven't seen on my twitter feed.
I recommend changing your lit class if possible... otherwise this will be a very dull and repetitive semester in lit for you.
Get a real education and read on your own.
