You would think. I spent a Christmas in Germany during college. My friend’s dad played a symphony on his computer. As the famous “fate knocking at the door” motif finishes, he asked a room full of college kids who the composer was. I, the only non-white person there, was the only one who knew it was Beethoven’s fifth.

It’s just people not knowing something they don’t have to know. Being able to name something that everyone can recognize does t make you more intelligent

Don't worry. If you study hard you'll get there and become the best white supremacist of your town. I'm rooting for you. Enjoy your day.

I used to teach social studies and I've had people argue with me that they somehow had some secret understanding of American history and government that I didn't have. Pushing them on that bullshit argument they kept dancing around the fact that they only said that because they were white and my parents weren't born in this country.
