New Rules for a New Year

so we're late with keepin up on our posts, did you expect anything less from the team?

well, latowna is bizack, bringin a little color to your 2L year. here's my 10 new rules for the new year:

1. people who ask questions after class has already ended should be shot.
2. republican minorities who are against affirmative action are not allowed to apply for diversity fellowships.
3. anyone who speaks with or enjoys british accents in class is no longer allowed to complain that mexican immigrants who participate in anti-immigration protests and rallies need to become more american if they want to be citizens.
4. if your advice to kids in the street law program is “just don’t break the law, it can’t be that hard to stay out of trouble,” don’t do the street law program.
5. don’t hate on students of color or women who are part of organizations promoting their ethnicity/gender and/or who receive special handling by firms because of it. you are part of an organization that supports your ethnicity/gender too—it’s called america. and you always receive special handling there.
6. when you’re talking about jim crow or immigration, don’t look out of the corner of your eyes at the black or latino student in the classroom. it’s not like we can’t tell fools are waiting for a token angry minority response. plus, ya’ll know we don’t vote, so why would we contribute to classroom discussion?
7. the student of color in your class that happens to be from an “inner-city” near your school does not necessarily know where to get weed. but, in all honesty, probably he does. and it’s probably from some crazy white boy he knows from college or high school.
8. conservatives, please recognize we don’t hate your for your viewpoints or the fact that you express them, we hate you for the smug, self-entitled, ignorant ass way you go about it.
9. don’t have a full-volume cell phone conversation in the library, even if the call is for a job opportunity. it’s not about following rules, it’s about home training. and if you need to ask what home training means, you don’t have any.
10. to firm recruiters: if you brag to me about your firm’s diversity, and i don’t meet a single person of color on my callback interview, you’re no longer allowed to brag about your firm’s diversity.
