How to get your professor to hate you.

Odds are, if they would just sit down, shut up, play the game, and show respect to the professor, they'd probably get a passing grade despite doing shitty on the assignment.

Just remember - if you are interviewing a potential employee and his/her resume indicates being a Berkley student.

I don't think so, but I did see one or two of the precious picking up sheaves of paper from the table up front that looked like they could be midterms.

Ah, the point is that they're heroes (no matter how pathetic their "demands") because they're "daring", because they make all sorts of trumped-up accusations, and because they're willing to be disruptive until they get whatever they want. And they've gotten away with it often enough in the past to take a chance it might work again. "This is our physical and mental health!" was never going to be a cogent argument against taking a midterm.

Then the snowflakes get to turn the whole thing into a physical confrontation and scream about police brutality. That, unfortunately, would give them PC leverage enough that they might get something out of the attempt and would certainly result in delaying or forcing the rescheduling of the exam.

For all the stuff people talk about Cal and colleges in general, no one here seems to have mentioned that the professor didn't stop the exam - and that that was ultimately enough to force the "SJWs" (how can you be a warrior if you're afraid of a midterm?) to get off the stage, shut up, and let the exam go forward as scheduled. The children were dismissed, the right thing happened.

I'm reasonably confident that if I was in college today I'd wind up knocking someone's teeth out.

You can use my baseball bat.

Back in the day, my days of the late '50's, one of the Jocks would get into her face and tell her to STFU and sit down.

But we can't do that today, 'cause it would hurt her feelings and might traumatize other students.

Delusion is strong with these people. Reality, in whatever form, needs to smack them upside the head in a big way.

Grow some appreciation, fools, and stop blaming whitey for your shortcomings - this diversionary tactic is way beyond tiresome! Funny how you never seem to see orientals pulling this crap.

Seems like their issue is also a "White Person" is teaching the class to start with.

A female protester questions Shaiken’s credentials and qualifications to teach the course. Shaiken, who has been chair of the Center for Latin American Studies at UC Berkeley since 1998, focuses his study on the issues of economic and political integration between the United States and Mexico. In 1991, Shaiken received the Outstanding Teaching Award at the University of California, San Diego.

“Have you ever checked ‘unlisted’ or ‘undocumented immigrant’? I don’t think so!” rhetorically asked the protester. “Have you ever checked ‘student of color’? I don’t think so.”

Yes, Shaiken is white.

In my experiences with Koreans, Chinese and Japanese, they strive to succeed, driven to do better in life, sometimes to the point of being materialistic or money hungry.

But, I see nothing wrong with that.

I have been told they admit and graduate some talented folks.

"Some" being the operative term. Wheat from chaff, guys, wheat from chaff.

Oh hey, also, orientals is not the proper nomenclature, dude. Asian-american, please.

ETA, nope apparently a different idiot..?

Yes it was a different self entitled snowflake dumbass, but she does have exact same accent and speech patterns.

Want some good news? She may be charged with a felony for physically removing the hat from him. She's countering the potential felony by demanding reparations. She'd like free housing, not just for her, but her entire family. Also wants immunity from charges as well as having the school renounce white supremacists.

I wish so hard that she'd actually be charged with and convicted of a felony.

Didn't mean any offense.....didn't even realize it was offensive! On the other hand, for accuracy sake, perhaps I should be called European-American? I will answer to Whitey though in a pinch.

My primary point (nomenclature aside) was that the complainers always seem to come from the same ethnicities, and Asian folks never seem to be in the complaining group. Probably because they're too busy learning or working to bother with useless whining, like everyone else.

So lowering passing test scores and standards aren't enough...Let's just skip exams all together! AAARRRGGghhhh!!!

Shaka, when the walls fell.

Why is it these days every last Amish Lesbian Beautician needs to be heard right now? Everyone has a voice that must be heard, and if they are told they don't, it's automatically hate speech.

A long time ago I was taught the old adage, "Now that you have had your say, don't feel you should have your way." What happened to the world I grew up in?

H&K-Guy

And I am guessing these fine folks have the vote.
Scary.
