i speak french in public to my grandparents and to my boyfriend. people are surprised that im bilingual and say its cool and ask me to teach them some time
but when one of my classmates speaks arabic in public to her family, she gets strange and disgusted looks. no one asks to be taught arabic. no one says its cool that shes bilingual
its racism plain and simple
my personal favorite episode of spongebob is (i think) mermaidman and barnacleboy 3, when they free manray from the frozen tartar sauce and try to teach him manners and torture him with the tickle belt. literally top five all time.

once my private instructor actually said to me “don’t let poor students play oboe or bassoon. They’ll never be any good because they won’t be able to afford reeds, lessons, or good instruments, and you’ll be wasting your time even if they can pay you for lessons.”
so I’ve made a point to give my students handmade reeds for free and I loan them books that I buy and I will never call a poor student a waste of my time because they are not.
fuck people like your instructor are the exact reason i couldn’t pick up cello or oboe in middle school, even though i was willing to commit fully to multiple instruments, and became the stunted musician i am today
Fuck that guy. People who bring their socio-economic elitism to the arts should be hanged.
amen. art is for everyone
