Speaking as faculty from a community college—You should consider a different school and a different major.
Sounds like you should call your professor out for committing the either/or fallacy! Say you don’t identify with Either person in the story, and since they both are caricatures more than characters, you hope no one identifies too closely with either of them.
I teach at community college. The entire sociology dept. Is like this. I take every opportunity to ridicule them when I’m on campus - they typically will form gross generalizations based on skin color rather than on individual decisions and choices. This is disrespectful, ignorant and unfair, since many “whites” fought and died in the civil war, & also helped with the underground railroad. Many “blacks” in Africa were violently involved in & profited from the slave trade ( and continue these horrific practices in many regions today). So let’s quit with the unfair and divisive generalizations, and treat each person as a unique individual with a unique history and unique pattern of conduct.
Collectivists are lazy - they would rather form racist generalizations based on skin color than treat each person as a unique individual with a specific past worth hearing about and evaluating.
Yes, probably so...but I want to be a counselor. I suspect this crap is pretty pervasive.
