The 11 Annoying Habits Of White Professors

We’ve all seen the wonderful cohort of white professors that make up the ranks of Lebanon’s universities, and we’ve all been annoyed by them. Here are 11 annoying white professor habits we’ve all probably witnessed. 1. Exceptionalize their time in Beirut We were living there and there was no electricity, no water, then the city exploded, it was so tough. You’re right! But also shut up. 2. Al salamu alaykum, marhaba, shukran They either butcher it or nail it perfectly. Both options are bad. There’s no winning with me. 3. Oriental fixation Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, imagine taking a whole country as your muse. 4. Tindering I do not want to see my professors on Tinder. They are not human beings too! 5. Cafe gentrification If there are more than two white professors at any given cafe, you can officially consider it gentrified. 6. We’re all in this together No we’re not, Troy. 7. #Thawra The government killed us. Yes they did, but stay out of it. 8. Live Love Beirut I love Solidere and Zaytouna Bay and all the beauty of Beirut fr. 9. Christian missionary on the side Yes I came here to teach you all. I also believe it’s my mission to civilize the hordes of barbarians into the one true faith. No problems there. 10. Write in their silly little journals What are you noting down so intently? Because I’m sure it’s racist. 11. Toshteef Never ask them their takes on washing asses.
