i hate listening to white people talk about cultural competency

today i gritted my teeth through a mandatory "New Mexico Cultural and Linguistic Competency" training. while i'm all for ppl not acting stupid towards other ppl, i hate how theoretical and depersonalized these trainings are. we are told that racism happens (*gasp*), but we aren't asked to consider how we ourselves commit racist and oppressive acts against others. i put my time to good use though: i punched out a few sheets of paper stencils and used the scraps to create this lovely piece of art.
