Apparently I’m ludicrously racist

I can’t do my psyc experiment (which involves asking people whether or not they study in groups as well as their ethnicity) because asking for someone’s ethnicity is “unethical.” No, let me tell you what’s fucking unethical. When I first told my psyc TA about my experiment, she wrote, and I quote, “I think you should stick with your experiment... Also, your hypothesis is good… You are on the right track!” When I handed in the sheet of paper with exactly same experiment and hypothesis, she wrote, “Your hypothesis has not been approved. I am having some trouble understanding the basis for your hypothesis… Asking personal/invasive information (besides major, sex/gender, year in school) is unethical because it can cause people to feel anxious, nervous, offended, embarrassed.” What the hell are you smoking, woman? Maybe she’s a schizophrenic, desperately seeking a cure for her out-of-control disease.
