I've been learning way too much these days. For example, it seems like a lot of these knuckledraggers think they can get away with their acts of ignorance on the grounds that they're Latino, thus not white, thus not oppressors. Because of course, only whitey is the bad guy, right?
On the bright side, so many historians on Twitter tweetstorming stuff has been great. I've never felt happier to use Storify than to archive some of their historical dialogues.
