Marta just sparked a huge debate in one of our lectures-"Who cares if the Russians want to dress like this, like seriously, for the school we are paying for, our prof. feels the need to consider who the Russian figure skating team may have offended by this outfit? First of all they aren't trying to be aboriginals. I know Russians, and Russians are definitely proud to be Russian. Second, maybe our prof should look back into some history and consider what else Western civilization has done to 'offend' aboriginal cultures'"
Anyhow this being said, the class went wild and some girl felt the need to say that Aboriginals ARE 'lower', then me and Olive went crazy and laughing because this girl just said that natives are lower? IS SHE CRAZY. most likely -now that's "offensive" but I think the Russians are just figure skating, they aren't trying to make a statement about a culture. Just trying to stand out and be creative!!
