jeez i hope it's not too derogatory...personally, i think it's a beautiful sounding word that seems to majestically describe an oh-so-fortunate type of breeding
I would just like to point out that mules are sterile, so the word mulatto not only refers to mules but carries the connotation of lacking the basic human ability of being able to reproduce. (Miriam Webster definitely traces the etymology back through the spanish mulo and the latin mulus. I would be interested to hear how an arabic word might have come to be in used in english though.) As far as I know, it is considered a very controversy-charged word, like FGM (female genital mutilation
( ... )
ya i will choose my words more wisely next time. to me, words are just words until someone acts like a jackass and says they're offended by them.
btw, i totally miss you too. sorry about your RAs, but i must say that i like their inclusion of "groovy." my RAs seem pretty cool but it's too early to give them credit. i told amanda that we will have a hedrick 2N reunion sometime this year (well just her, u, me, and kira). i'm sure we will have numerous dormmate stories to share + we can always play the amazing game "who do we think is getting action?"
i'm moving in that same saturday from 4-6 or something (it might be earlier)...oh and i heard that death cab isn't playing bruin bash anymore...i don't think we really need to get a microwave - they have public ones in dykstra and de neve - i didn't use mine last year too much...i will think about it though
p.s. my last day of work is september 9th if you want to hang out before school starts
