Multicultural Markers?!

· 🌡️ 71°F

So my classroom at school is kind of like the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. Mostly it's my music room, but it is also used throughout the day as social studies, math and art on my off periods. So I thought I would use this to my advantage and use the art supplies with my 6th grade music class tomorrow so they can make nametags. Well I was digging through the art supplies cabinets and this is what I found:

Does this seem strange/amusing to anyone else? Woohoo, we put some brown and peach and tan markers in a box and labelled it "Multicultural"!

    If one of the colors is mulatto, I'm writing a letter

    Do they have white with pink for people with albanism?

    How about jaundice green, gangrene, or seasick?

    Do they have red for people with fair skin that live in warm climates?

    Here is my theory. They have allways from when I can remember used the rainbow on there box. Well I bet someone said that the rainbow is also used for gay pride. Well you put that on a box and you will kill sales big time. So as a way to distance them selves and to make it look like they are into multiculturism they add that. Again it is just a theory so.... oh yeah from a conspircy thoerhist.

    if you look closely one of those markers is the exact shade of your skin.

    I remember when Crayola discontinued Flesh because they said it didn't look like everybody's skin. I thought it was a joke because I didn't think it looked like anybody's skin, and anyway it was only ever available in the 48-pack. I always colored everybody Orange instead.

    ha ha ha... @zobar, you crack me up.

    My parents were always saying things like "it doesn't matter what colour someone's skin is; if they are purple with pink dots, we are all equal." Which is totally a great thing to tell a kid. But then i would colour people in that way at school and get in trouble. Green and pink were my fav combination...
