    I love people getting all flustered that the characterizations are wrong when it is just the group as the basic Avengers team

    There's a D&D thread where they were talking about how you couldn't cast a black Captain America (as opposed to other racial changing for roles). They had a pretty good point due to the time period of his becoming a super hero and the military being segregated, but hey, I'd watch that movie anyway.

    You could, but it'd be a completely different kind of story. Spider-Man? He's from a time and place where race wouldn't have to change the story in a massive way. Hell, it'd enhance the whole "can't catch a break" part of the character. Actually, most characters could be any race and the main story would still work. Ask DC, they've been killing characters and replacing them with ethnic stereotypes for years!

    Black Cyclops.

    Asian Wolverine.

    Spanish Beast.

    All of these work. And there is an Asian Wolverine. He's Wolverine's bastard son who's evil and replaces his father to work for a corrupt government-sponsored team of Avengers.

    Something's been bugging me for over a year now. Community is the only instance in my life where someone has been offended by the term "Jew."

    Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I've never encountered that in any other media or in my personal experiences. And there was a sizable Jewish population at my high school.

    It just strikes me as very unusual every time I watch that episode. Is that really a thing?

    Per Wikipedia:

    "It is widely recognized that the attributive use of the noun Jew, in phrases such as Jew lawyer or Jew ethics, is both vulgar and highly offensive. In such contexts Jewish is the only acceptable possibility. Some people, however, have become so wary of this construction that they have extended the stigma to any use of Jew as a noun, a practice that carries risks of its own. In a sentence such as There are now several Jews on the council, which is unobjectionable, the substitution of a circumlocution like Jewish people or persons of Jewish background may in itself cause offense for seeming to imply that Jew has a negative connotation when used as a noun."

    So Annie's just super uptight and objects to the noun? I guess.

    It should be painfully obvious that Dean Pelton isnt running things like a normal community college by now. Specifically the pool episode where he refers to greendale being like an Ivy League school for having a cool judges table.

    I mean if you really wanted to you could probably find something about every episode that isnt like a normal community college.

    Getting accredited to issue four year degrees involves not being a community college. You can teach at a community college with just a master's degree. You cannot at a four year institution, except as an adjunct and even they they prefer you to be working on a doctorate.

    The only institution I am aware of that gives four year degrees at the community college level is one in alabama that is a two year junior/senior school. Which is a pretty neat idea.

    I'm sure they could just jump over the issue by saying Greendale gives out undergraduate degrees.

    It isn't something that would tear down the fabric of reality within the show.

    I've wondered about that before so I looked it up. Apparently 'jewess' is sometimes thought of as an offensive term too, but there's no reason for it. It is just Jew with the traditional female suffix. Both words feel weird to say because you know people have used it offensively in the past. So I think it's all in how you say it.

    I like researching why certain words are offensive or not.

    30 Rock's Puerto Rican joke is my favorite joke pointing out what you can and can't say.

    Nope, they mentioned in the christmas episode that it was the end of the semester remember? And in season 1 they did the same thing, they took spanish 102 in the second half of the season.

    Yeah each year of community is one year of classes for the group.

    My guess is that it makes it to season 5: The new class with Jeff Winger failing some classes and mentoring some freshmen. Then it gets cancelled. Hard.
