how ironic considering your reading material!
There was no need to specify her hair colour, really.
LOL This encounter sums up my first trip alone in the West coast for two months. I realized the average person there talks like a TARD!!!
the isms actually started in Europe. cause in asian languages there is no isms on the end words. all ism such as racism. colonialism, socialism. communism , capitalism etc the list goes on ... like i said the origin where it all started is from Europe. it is part of white identity these isms as well.
Now that's the best review I've read about Orientalism :-)
Very sad because that girl votes too. Now we know how we end up with those politicians.
Edward Said would've smiled if he heard this story :-)
You missed a grand scoring opportunity.
@Rhinaris what? no. a stupid girl is a stupid girl, and one has the right to not buy her a drink, given the circumstances. millions of women getting beaten every day, and you think this is misogyny? smh.
-sez this feminist
Funny but the Tao of Pooh is pretty good
I also read that story and thought: "I like the Tao of Poo."
no need to descripe the girl's haircolour
As many others have said, no need to reinforce with the choice of wording both the dumb blonde and (arguably) dumb woman stereotypes.
Is it possible to give this anecdote 5/5? I would have reacted similarly...how cringeworthy.
ps. scott, you're gross. and whomever is defending Tao of Pooh/Te of Piglet ain't miles ahead on the smartometer. last, no tard, please. truly gross, any context.
Wow, I just read these comments for the first time in a while. For the record, I'm also a blonde woman and did not intend any sexist or blonde-ist commentary. I guess I could have said a "person whose gender and appearance are not relevant to the story." Apologies to anyone offended, but I am somewhat offended to everyone who assumed I'm a man, when you could have just looked at my profile.
I was scrolling down a list with this book, and 40 spots down was the Tao of Poo
Hmm. Not one word about the book. Get over yourself Erica.
I find it great that she mentions the hair color. In an other place similar minds would say something along the lines "there was no need to say you were in a bar or drunk beer".
In a way your drinking buddy perfectly encapsulated what Said's book is all about.
i am so offended. did you really need to mention that she is a human being? was it necessary to even involve a second sentient life form? couldn’t you have condensed it down and simply written the word “pooh” and let it stand on its own merit? like this:
pooh. the end.
okay, enough with the ridiculousness. cute story, erica, exactly as written. :-)
Hilarious! For past three years I have switched from car to railcar mode of travel partly because I can read a book while travelling. This is usual that people think of me a “professor” just because I’m reading a book lol
The idea as generally defined in the book is too broad to be meaningful so I’d say that conversation went as well it it could have
…and that girl grew up to be Taylor Swift. Which means the OP grew up to be Kanye. Which means Edward Said is Beyoncé.
@iskra best comment on a review ever lol 🙏🙏
OP's hubris in thinking he can explain Orientalism to a layperson in like 1 minute.
This is one of the most baffling comment sections I've ever encountered.
I laughed so effing hard when I read this review hahahaha
Also laughing that people think OP is a guy
This was a good, fun ice breaker review :D thanks for sharing
adding this to a list of things that definitely happened!
Why the hell were you reading orientalism in a bar? I get that it's a San Francisco bar, but still.
