immensely offended today because
(1) Professor said that WWII was in 1930. I am not a history major, and yet I know that this is completely off by a decade
(2) watching a video about Chinese traditional medicine narrated by a white guy who did nothing but emphasize heavily how weird, how strange, how different and alien it was. why do they get this guy to make a documentary? why not someone who knows it well and and make the audience believe in that medicine, showing an insider’s point of view…that is root of understanding, instead of always seeing and thinking “ughhh! do they really use geckos? that’s disgusting and weird and would never cure anything! but these people claim it does, hahaha!” excuse me, but western european medicine traditions are very strange too. especially upset at people in class laughing at people doing tai chi. (omg, people do that all over China??? how come no one ever told me about it??) how is that different from the ever popular yoga or stretching exercises given by trainers? do these make it into travel pamphlets and brochures??? no!
