Your Guilt Has Been Determined Via Pantone Colour Chart
“There were so many students who came into the school with no preparation for the conversation about race or racism. They knew nothing about white privilege and white supremacy,” social policy professor Amy Hillier said.
It’s a dental school, by the way. For dentists.
It occurs to me that if you’re brandishing the terms “white privilege” and “white supremacy,” and invoking “implicit bias” as if it weren’t laughable woo, such that the indoctrinated must “come to understand” foregone conclusions, it doesn’t sound much like a conversation. More a series of begged questions, whereby some people can be deemed guilty or complicit by virtue of their skin colour.
And yet, if you plan to be a dentist and attend the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, it seems you must first submit to condescension and insults, and accusations of being either a bigot or an enabler of bigotry, based solely on unchangeable aspects of your appearance. Because apparently you can’t do dentistry without the weird political woo of dogmatic parasites who’ve managed to insert themselves into yet another sphere of life.
Not entirely unrelated.
Dentists announce new teeth blackening treatment
it doesn’t sound much like a conversation.
That.
But Dentists are all racists.
Is it not true that they talk of the benefits of healthy white teeth and is it not true that the particular teeth that are ethnically cleansed from your mouth are only those teeth that show signs of the wrong pallor. Even a tan brings down the wrath of dental hygienists – “you should remove plaque”?
Best they don’t investigate the previous name of Darlie, a very popular brand of toothpaste in the far east.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlie
However, the Chinese name of the brand, “黑人牙膏” (in English, “Black Person Toothpaste”), remains the same and a Chinese-language advertising campaign reassured customers that “Black Person Toothpaste is still Black Person Toothpaste”.
LeBron James will have something to say about this!
Any time now.
LeBron?
I have a dental check-up tomorrow. In addition to extra flossing, should I prepare for a privilege quiz?
“There were so many students who came into the school with no preparation for the conversation about race or racism.”
*Snort.*
These would be the same students who’ve been bombarded by “conversations about race” in school and popular culture since the day they were born.
It must be nice being able to impose this false reality and phony moral authority on everyone, knowing that no one will dare call you on your bullshit–and if someone does, you can force his or her expulsion before the week is through.
I’ll just leave this here, I think.

Problem solved, and one doesn’t even need a dentist.
I suppose I should denounce myself and report for regrooving, even though metal teeth were pioneered in the former CCCP and by other wypipo.
From the laughable woo link:
As ever, follow the money.
She is clearly an anti-dentite.

Monty Python’s Mister Shabby must be retiring about now, and somebody needs to be cleaning all those public lavatories, so why not social policy professor Amy Hillier?
Brings back nostalgia for those happier time when dentists, usually of the “Sexy Danish” variety, featured in some memorably educational films.

Should have thought of that. I’ll have to rewatch the two James Bond movies involving the henchman Jaws. Will that make Moonraker a good film after all?

I went to medical school in the UK. There was no political nonsense. Just science and clinical training. I have no idea what politics the teaching staff had or how they voted. It wasn’t relevant. Tutorials with the professor of anatomy were about, anatomy including histology and the like. I do so love a squamous epithelium to this day. The dental students in the next building were much rowdier than we were. Anyone trying out white privilege or some such nonsense would have been told to “F**k Off” by the dental students.

I do not want to know what a moose might be doing in a “memorably educational film.”

But entirely professional when on the job: only once in all my dental visits did someone behave unprofessionally.

Well, you’re sitting there in a chair with no ability to reply back to anything you’re told. So yeah, it’s pretty much the same as one of those

Showing off its rack, of course.
After my firm was purchased by Big Chicago Firm a couple of years ago, I got into so much trouble in the initial HR reprogramming sessions. They opened with the implicit association woo, and I raised my hand and informed them that the test and the theory behind it were without merit, and I didn’t see the value in putting a bunch of highly-paid professionals through a series of exercises with no validity.
This was maybe 18 months after David’s “Voodoo” post, which I was able to pull up in a hurry for reference. Just being able to name the authors and cite their 2015 admission of the limitations of their theory was enough to put the HR drones on the back foot. They proposed that we “just press on” while they checked my sources, but when I asked whether their meaningless brain games should take priority over our productive work, I found a sudden surge of support from cow-orkers who’d been remarkably passive up until that point.
Pretty sure I’m on the corporate list of “undesirables,” but my cow-orkers sure thought it was swell that they didn’t have to sit through two hours of brainwashing that morning.
My thanks once again to our gracious host for providing me with the tools I need to cause trouble.

Yes, but as a result, literally thousands* of mxn died of ovarian cancer because ignorant cretins like you didn’t think to check. How can you sleep at night?
* Where “literally thousands” = “potentially one or two if you squint just right and use your imagination”
The genre of erotic dentistry had somehow escaped me.
Once upon a time dated the daughter of a Dental School Dean. Attended a semi formal bash, and was rather surprised that one of the most, er, cherished awards was the “BIE”…
I was mightily puzzled until ‘splained to me that it meant “boob in eye” …
I have a dental check-up tomorrow.

Years ago, a local dentist hired a dental technician who was a Palestinian.
And not just any Palestinian, but one of the a “Filthy Jews are murdering 30,000 Palestinians every day” variety. People getting their teeth polished were treated to diatribes about the dirty kikes and how they were exterminating the Arabs; I mean, it’s all right there in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Being in a largely affluent jewish suburb, a large percentage of the dentist’s clientele was of the Yid variety.
With the new technician in place, that percentage dropped significantly. As did the number of clients. And referrals dropped practically to nothing.
“Unexpectedly”, as they say.
Since this was in the 1990s, the dentist fired the technician, because back in those days, subjecting customers to hateful screeds and calling them kike garbage was actually considered a firing offense. I’ve no doubt that if it happened today, the technician could not be fired, and if the dentist tried, he and his practice would be the ones ordered to go to counseling.

Queer Theory certainly is queer.
Erotic Dentistry
Well, that’s one rabbit hole I didn’t expect to descend
My son, who is six and in Year 2, has his online learning via Google Classroom, which in addition to the specific assignments has a stream where pupils can post anything of interest that they’re been up to. Up piped this afternoon one of his classmates to announce that her word of the day was “colnialisim”.
Usually the purpose of this post would be to mock the spelling, but she’s six and expectations are pretty low these days so I’ll let her off. But who causes/encourages/allows a six-year-old to post that her word of the day is “colonialism”? Who talks to a six-year-old about colonialism?
Are they at least being taught aboriginal methods of dental hygiene?
Who talks to a six-year-old about colonialism?
Someone who should not be allowed to talk to six-year-olds.
Dentists are more workshy than the teachers.
Not in the US they aren’t. Or at least my dentist. And while they do do the full PPV thing as expected by law and some clients, the hygienist I spoke with, as well as my dentist himself, were quite rational about the degree of threat of this virus. Similar with the oral surgeon with whom my wife (and I) consulted.

My dentists’ office is open. They have implemented strong COVID safety protocols, but they are completely open and only closed for awhile during the first lockdown to implement those protocols.

No, really. She was carving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge – her brother-in-law – an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: “The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink”…

“When I was a young girl I used to like boys.
I’d play with their bodies and fondle their toys,
Till my true love ran off with a sailor named Bruce.
You’d never be treated that way by a moose.

I need a drink.

Well, yes, I had to go and have a look but what surprised me was the price: Price: $5.99 + $45.98 shipping. Must be flying first class

That does not sound, on the face of it, like something calculated to build team spirit and morale.
Still needing some degree of distraction from the ongoing idiocy. Does anyone have a recommendation for a humor site? Something along the lines of Harry Hutton or David Thorne? Or have such things been scrubbed from our Brave New World?
