So yes....stereotypes are real
Very true.
But if you choose to be out of the stereotype box, then there is a chance to think for yourself.
Whether I have done that yet, I do not know.
One advantage of being retired is that I am out of the teacher stereotype;I am no longer restrained as being a priest like moral arbiter.

Followed it up with this ...  "He explained his rationale in a column in The Australian on Friday: "When little children can’t understand things, they often lash out and throw tantrums.
"The cartoon I drew for yesterday’s paper was inspired by Indigenous men and people who, without regard for their personal safety, feel compelled to tell the truth."
He said in answer to Guardian Australia's media correspondent Amanda Meade who had asked him what he was attempting to communicate through the cartoon, "I was trying to say you think things are pretty crook for the children locked up in the Northern Territory’s Don Dale Youth Detention Centre, you should have a look at the homes they came from."
In a statement on Thursday, Paul Whittaker, The Australian editor-in-chief, had backed Mr Leak.
"Too often, too many people skirt around the root causes and tough issues. But not everyone," he said, citing Indigenous leader Noel Pearson who had previously said Indigenous Australians "have got to take charge and responsibility for their own children"."The cartoon, in the OP was penned in the light of what was happening in the NT's detention centre. Is it racist? ... up to you ... how you interpret it. Is it a truth teller? ... up to you ... how you interpret it. One fact though ... he's copping it from all sides in Oz. |
