Wait, did you get marked down because he didn't accept your proof?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sorry Aims. You appear to be dealing with Captain Asshat.
BTW, I approve of your new tag.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I got marked down because I didn't attach any of the listed words to the types of discrimination the German-Americans faced. Why? Because after MUCH searching and even phone calls to my Grandmother, I couldn't find documentation of any of them.
He posted a link that "showed" discrimination during WWI. Most examples of which, I had included in my paper.
I just got another response from him saying that if I couldn't meet the requirements, I should have switched topics! The topic was "Pick an ethnic group you belong to". I only belong to TWO! And the Scots faced much less discrimination than the freaking Germans!
Fuck.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does 'non-idiot' count as an ethnic group?

I typed a response to him saying, "I can't cange my heritage and I can't change history. Marking me down for not belonging to an ethnic group that faced discrimination is a bit of discimination in itself, isn't it?"
I deleted the last sentence and replaced it with, "I'm contacting my academic advisor."

You should end with, "I'm sending you a head-mounted flashlight, to help you find your way out of your ass."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm almost willing to start considering this possibility.
It's a classic tell. The unnamed problem would be the cause of the rift or shift or whatever, of course. Now, since you seem to be the same Hil to us, you probably didn't do the shifting - he must have come to our reality from one in which he worked with you' on this problem, and hasn't realised it yet.
That sounds like a poorly designed assignment, Aimee.
Eta: At least, I am bewildered by it. You included examples of discrimination faced by Germans but not enough types? Is that the problem
