'PC'

Being politically correct in a not-so-politically-correct world is kinda tough...
Especially when you aren't sure of the people on the receiving side.
But the lecture this morning was very interesting (not because we saw every imaginable menifestation of syphillis),the lecturer actually addressed a group of coloured students as coloured students belonging to categories 3,4 and 5 Similar to the way a microbiologist would call penicillin as penicillin notatum.

*And i was impressed*(not really sure why though)

Oh and she also told us that communicating in English would be a small problem as she doesn't 'possess Oxford english'...but then again 'neither do you all right?' (small smile on her face while she said this)

Well this colour scheme thing's very the cun, the categories are between 1-6:

1- Scandinavian-Blond complexion w light hair and eyes.
2,3-European/American/Latin American
345-Chinese/Indians/Remaining Asians
6-Africans-dark hair,skin and eyes.

See after explaining this she asked why is it so?...is it because we don't have the same amount of Melanocytes (cells producing melanin@pigment) on our skin? (yours truly said yes-which is wrong)
Well truth is we all have the same amount of melanocytes on our skin,the difference lies in the amount of pigment generated i.e its quality and not quantity...

Now you'd wonder why were we going on and on with the whole colour thing,well its because certain dermatological diseases are harder to diagnose on pigmented skin (darker skin).
(NB:i really think i'm blogging all this so that i wouldn't forget why i went for my lectures this morning)

Actually the highlight of lecture/class was the video on men who neglect their penises...
You'd just wonder if they were plain stupid or just plain stupid...

Signing off as Coloured Student (between category 3&5)
