In the 21st Century, what exactly is "American Culture"?
A Sunni Muslim who is an open proponent of communism
This is the caliber of professors we have shaping young minds. Thank G-d I'm in my 30s. Last semester, my Sociology professor accused me of being a "cultural elitist" when I told him that American culture is the best culture in the world. He also called me a "right winger" when I told him our text book was liberally biased. Still got an "A" in the class though.
We were taking Italian at night at the local JC. The professor(a) used for an example, when we were doing 'good-better-best' -- "George Bush is the worst President in the world." We just rolled our eyes.
She already hated me because I had told her I would NOT work in a group and turn my work in under a group's name, for grades. "Will they also be on my transcript?" I asked her.
In Italian!! You'd think you'd be just a bit free of the propaganda in Italian.
He was probably using the "cultural elitist" phrase to control his immediate impulse to tell you, "You right wing, arch-fascist, imperialist, warmongering, racist, homophobic, tool of the Wall Street running dog capitalists! You stole the elections in 2000 and 2004! Gore won the popular vote, not Bush! And Kerry won, too, not Bush! We need to repeal all the tax cuts for the wealthy that Bush and his evil minions passed, which caused the current depression and epidemic of drug use among teenagers (women and minorities hit worst), an explosion of AIDS worldwide, and the tsunami in Indonesia. You oppose a uniform health care system like Canada's and Britain's which would usher in an era of good health for all people and instead support the corporate polluters and their evil lackeys! Paul wasn't the walrus! I was just saying that to be nice but I was really the walrus! Where are you, mother? They are trying to crucify me! AAAAAAhhhhhh!....".
Just thought you might like some clarification of that phrase. ;)
