I didn't, I'm a postdoc and it was painfully obvious.

 

I only skimmed your post, I'm sorry. I couldn't do more, there were so many verbosely presented "insights" such as: "Identity in the real world is full of a humongous mixture of traits and hallmarks..." Or the groan inducingly condescending explanation of complexities of black identity. "Even within America, blackness is deeply geographical, gendered, and class-divided." I think even undergrads fresh in college wouldn't be impressed by this level of observation. And I'm obviously not a social scientist so I don't have particularly high expectations.

 

I didn't know about Jason Whitlock, that was sort of informative. So thank you for that one. But in general don't they teach you in whatever you do to write for conciseness and clarity when you're trying to impress, as you appear to be? Especially people outside of your area. I'm not even talking about tone, that is probably intentionally antagonistic, and understandably so for having fun on the internets.

 

(I'm assuming you're a grad student, feel free to correct me)

 

Couldn't be arsed to read a respectful, coherent, in-depth reply to your own admonishment of not being elaborate enough?

 

Laaaame.

"This thread is none of those things. It is a poorly framed initial question followed by several pages of in-and-out meandering garbage with a fair amount of pseudopsych and one or two cogent observations."

 

​That's you and everyone else in this thread. If you feel respected by that, I find that a bit funny.

Hm... Sera's first reaction on seeing the Elven Inquisitor is words to the effect of "Ugh, you're an elf! Well, you're not 'too elfy,' are you?" ANYTHING you say positively about elves (even within hearshot) nets you disapproval, anything you do to help elves (even city elves, one of the "little people" she claims to champion) nets disapproval, trying to relate to her as a fellow elf nets disapproval and denial, helping Briala who IMMEDIATELY uses her new power to help the "poor elves" of Orlais nets disapproval while helping Gaspard, a "big person" who already has tons of power but grabs more just for himself apparently nets approval (from what I hear), the fact that she apparently forces a Dalish denounce/give up their heritage to be with her even if they are accepting of her not being that into elves (from what I hear)...

Yeah, I'd say she's racist. She pre-judges an Elven Inquisitor, doesn't want to help elves under any circumstances, can't say and doesn't want to hear anything positive about them at all, would rather support "big people" already in power than help "poor elves" who are part of the "little people" she claims to support, and will not tolerate another elf unless that elf denounces everything elven and basically tries to become human with pointed ears like her.

Basically, when she claims to care about "PEOPLE people," what she means is non-magic, low-born humans and the occasional dwarf. (And Qunari. She LOVES her Qunari women.)

Turn your subtitles on, she says "aaaand you're and elf"  Not Ugh.  That is a slight difference there.  She shows some level of surprise at the appearance of any Inq.  The Human is to plain, the Dwarf is short, the Qunari is big etc.  She was looking for the Herald of Andraste and her expectations may have been JUST a bit to high.  She also very quickly mentally shrugs her shoulders and moves on, Being an elf. dwarf, Qunari or human don't matter.  You glow, you are the herald and that is good enough for her.

The only difference to qunari is she react very differently to a female qunari. She gets all flustered. It's adorable.
