I live in India and have traveled here extensively- that percentage is ridiculously inaccurate.

I worry that won’t matter to you and will only draw your ire, but carry on.

but are you a teacher or are you someone who speaks English that wants to teach for your income? Because yeah there’s racism but also not even respecting the profession or the students and then complaining about how you’re shut out- that’s conflating two different factors and wanting to lay all the blame at the feet of racism. Racism is real 💯 but so is people of all colors that speak English deciding it’s ok for them to teach. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bhia, you owe me no explanation, this is just an exercise in conversation 👍🏼

not all Indians!? What a weird thing to say. I live here and there are as many English dialects to be heard throughout this country as exist in any so-called native English speaking country. I would even venture to say that the majority of Indians throughout the country speak English fully from a VERY early age.

I lived in Vietnam several years and have spent plenty of time in SEA- India is easier because of the English spoken here, and in many instances it’s cheaper.

First of all, I might ask are you a teacher? Are you a credentialed teacher? As to the rest of it it’s just bait and I won’t take it. If you can’t connect the dots to understand why that is you definitely shouldn’t be out in the world on your own.it is absolutely wrong but I know why it exists?

Congrats on retirement. Congrats on all of it. Gratitude is some of the only work that when done consistently can really change us. ✌🏼

bro. All I did was turn to you for a moment to clarify that I wasn’t 💩 on you. it seems like your response to my show of care and respect was an insult. Saying rude things to people and then saying don’t take it personal it’s just Facebook is ridiculous. Human beings speak to each other and when they make personal insults, it is personal. I went out of my way to make sure you knew I wasn’t insulting you. I’m good. I’ve cleaned up my mess. People don’t want to be accountable for anything they say or do and say it’s just Facebook.

Sometimes I let it roll off my back, of course, but I’m a human being, and I made an actual gesture toward you and look at my result. I am not the problem and Facebook is not the problem. People are the problem and terror of taking any accountability ever is the problem. #Fukem I’m still gonna do what’s right ✌🏼

you mean me? Did clarifying and being decent to you earn me an insult? It’s hardly triggered but that’s another term thrown around as an insult in lieu of actual conversation 🤷🏻‍♀️

I took the time to address you and clarify and show respect- did I get insulted for that? WTF 🤦🏻‍♀️

oh no I didn’t think you were talking about me, thanks for circling back tho ☺️

I know I’m not unkind and I know people that eschew accountability want to say pragmatism is unkind 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh well.

I think there’s a difference in being not surprised and being confused with why someone is talking about a misfortune that they created- and taking pleasure in it. It’s don’t take pleasure in it- I am totally confused by it 🤷🏻‍♀️
