Learning about diversity

Arizona, Crumbs, School, UofA — alisa on August 24, 2007 at 1:39 pm

Scottsdale, Arizona– A city known for its wealth, its snootiness, and its world-class Arabian horses. The men of Scottsdale are business owners and investors; the women are trophy wives whose duties are to look great, make the house look great, and to make friends who are also great (according to the Scottsdale definition of the word). The children of Scottsdale are raised with Beverly Hills style extravagance– the latest, the greatest, and the most expensive are things that just can’t be done without.

That being said, guess who’s in my Art and Politics in Latin America discussion group?

You’re right! The City of Scottsdale and Mattel Inc. proudly present Scottsdale Princess, UofA Edition! Now equipped with Tucson driving skills, a Gucci bag big enough to hold all those college textbooks, and bleach blonde hair because summer just recently ended.

“So like, did you do the reading?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh… Like, I totally don’t get this class.”

“The reading helps me a lot.”

“I just, don’t have time, you know. Like with everything going on.”

“Yeah. Sorority bid weeks are tough.”

TA announces that homework needs to be turned in.

Scottsdale Princess leaves.

Follow-up question, extra credit: Guess who’s going to be doing the whole entire group’s work when project time rolls around?
