Honestly, this assignment is now repetitive. it's the third time we've had to describe a scenario. I dont feel that this is helpful any longer to our learning and is very forced. soooooo here's the assignment...

I am regularly microinsulted. It often happens with my religion. At a party last night, in fact, we were playing a game  (similar to Apples to Apples) which I was continuously a target of. A "subject" card is selected, such as "If I had ____ I would be ____". then the rest of the group selects cards from their hand to be the best suited for the blanks on the subject card. person who's turn it is chooses the fitting card out of these options. I this senario, I always got the jewish-oriented cards when it was my turn to pick. Although some of it is the 'luck' of the draw of the hands' dealt, it was not uncommon for me to have to pick through cards such as Ashuwitz, The Jews, and Penny Pincher as the options given to me. So in this case, "If i had The Jews I would be a Penny Pincher". Of course, I would not have to pick these options, and sometimes they did not make sense. my friends also did not create these cards. generally things like this do no bother me, especially among friends who are not intending harm. but to many this can be very insulting.

i discussed this week's video with my friends, and they laughed. maybe it is because their banter and pokes do not bother me.
