Finally! Taking cues from Obama’s ‘Race Speech,’ more of us ought to call it like we see it.
Last week while many of you were celebrating spring break in lands of sand and sun, I, like many others, found myself hibernating in Olin Library, plugging away at a Senior honors thesis that still refuses to cohere. It wasn’t an entirely useless time, though. I made friends with a monolingual (it wasn’t English) Ithaca High School girl who hiked up the hill to do her AP Chem homework; I played a few hundred games of Go online; I applied to and was rejected from a few jobs; and, I spent much of my time reading up on election news, looking at speeches, and reading press releases.
