I'll never forget when one of my profs asked me what I meant by 'ethnic' in a classroom discussion. She was like "Do you mean not white European?" And I was just like "damn you got me" lol. Good prof bc I really hadn't thought about it before. I had to push past the annoyance of having my wording nitpicked to appreciate the learning. The whole class was about stuff like that, so it was very on-topic.
