Ha. Problem is they hire people in colleges to teach other students who then get a job someday teaching more students in other colleges. Every college has a women’s studies department with full staffing.

Cartoon I saw: I was in hedge funds on Wall Street but then quit to make a fortune in the poetry field.

Woody Allen in Sleeper where he died and was put in suspended animation and then awakened in the future. “Back then I was in college. Majored in Black Studies. If I had finished I could have been black by now.”

You gave me a good hearty laugh! Yes, Sleeper was a classic! They don't make 'em like that anymore …

That's actually a quote from Woody Allen's 1971 film, "Bananas" - not from "Sleeper."

What surprises me is that that phenomenon ("Black Studies") was apparently already in existence back then, and anchored in the public's collective consciousness, back in 1971!

In the 1971 Woody Allen film, “Bananas,” a fellow employee asks Allen’s character, “What would you have been if you finished school?” Allen’s character answers, “I was in the black studies program. By now I could have been black.”
