Can I just start off by saying that I am so glad that we aredone speaking about humor in class… Obviously everyone knows how much I do notfind Native humor funny. It does irritate me though because of the fact that Ido not find Native humor funny, people in our class assume that means that Ihave no sense of humor. I am not the Grinch or Scrooge; I laugh quite a bit,and make others laugh as well. I realize that everyone has different senses of humor;I just wish that people wouldn’t judge me based on my “lack” of humor. There isno reason for people to be snarky and say things like “what a shocker” or “wellshe doesn’t find anything funny” while speaking about humor in class. Justbecause I don’t find this kind of humor funny does not make me have a monotonepersonality. (If you still think so, you should see me watch The Big Bang Theory-I think that most of the class would be taken aback at how much I laugh). Personally,I don’t know all of the people in our English class, and I thought that we weretrying to stop judging people through what we have learned in this class, but Iguess I was wrong, apparently being judged on what I find funny is still fodderfor others to poke fun.
Also, I was really alarmed when Joe was talking today aboutsomeone thinking our program was racist. If anything, it really is the exact opposite;we are fighting stereotypes, racism, and the social norms. It was reallyirritating that people would take the poster out of context, and I agree whenTaylor said that they probably will not be attending our program. People reallycan be so irritating and ignorant.
Sorry for the rant, this was obviously not the best blogpost ever; I was just irritated for a change.
