This would be an "urgh fuck," but I just don't have the energy to write a particularly seething and indignant one.
I have an ecology lecturer, whose insistence on using images of overweight people to demonstrate some tenuous ecological principle is beginning to grate on me. Today it was to show us examples of omniverous predators, last week it was something else. He always finds a reason to shoehorn an image of somebody overweight into a lecture. Last week it was a picture of a large man holding a Nile Perch. The subtitle of the image was "Big, Fat and Ugly, but the Nile Perch is quite interesting." Hi-fucking-larious.
In fact, I've found the image here:
Casual racism and flippant anti-Americanisms merrily go hand in hand with his body fascism and his lectures are leaving an intensifying foul taste in my mouth. What makes it worse, is that the class find all of his jokes absolutely hilarious. It leaves me wanting to drop a module that's supposed to be a fundamental part of my course.
I'd like to address the issue with him, but know that he'll disregard any complaints made by e-mail and I just don't have the nerve to confront him face to face.
It's probably best to grin and bear it, I suppose (it's over in four weeks and there are other lecturers too).
Oh dear. |
