"Oh, Wiccan, Roma, same thing!"
- An actual quote from a girl at school.
Edit: Full story.
So I'm walking out of English class, and this girl, Mouse, comes out of her history class and bumps into me. So apparently she's been learning about the Salem Witch Trials. This creates much drama, because Mouse is "Wiccan."
So she's like, "FOMG, I never would have survived those times." And I start talking about the theories that the girls were actually getting hallucinogens in their food and that's where they got all these kooky ideas from, and then she says, "Yeah, only two of the people there were actually Wiccan."
stressed
So we go outside because it's the end of the day and stuff, and she's still talking about TEH SALEM WITCH TRIALS. Eventually we get to talking about the European Witch Trials. And I'm like, "Yeah, the people killed there were pretty much just normal Christians. It was more about personal vendettas and dislike of strange people than religion or anything."
So she says, "You know, I did some research --" and I'm thinking, no, nono. She wouldn't. "-- and I found out that my great-great-great-great-great grandmother was a G~" and yes, she did indeed use the racial slur, despite my somewhat lame attempts to inform her that it is very much offensive, "and she was killed during the Burning Times."
crying
After doing my usual 'FOMG racial slur' spiel, which was immediately ignored, Mouse is like, "Jeez, even my ancestors were persecuted for being magical people." So this other kid says, "Wait, how does her being Roma (because this kid is actually awesome and REMEMBERS when I ask him not to use racial slurs) make her 'magical?'"
So she punches him playfully, and says, "Oh, Wiccan, Roma, same thing!"

What kind of teacher is this, or is she just dense? Maybe you should ask her the three questions, or rather two questions about Wicca. Who created it? What type of religion is it? (anything but fertility witch cult is of course wrong, but you know that, so we dont have to go into that spiel) And, Wiccan = Roma....Geeze, not even the fluffy bunnies I know would say that, though one did say she was from the G-word line. Her mom didnt say that though, nor did her dad.

Her mom didnt say that though, nor did her dad. In Mouse World, anything vaguely related to magic is Wiccan. And since her knowledge of Roma is mostly gleaned from Hollywood, they are included. Anyway. I'm not big on confrontation IRL. I'm trying to work up my nerve. Mouse has a serious temper, so I expect a lot of bullshit if I ever manage it.

Just do to her what the fluffies like her do when presented with facts. Say, "******** you, you dont know what your talking about, and when you finally grow up, I hope that you learn the truth." Or call her A Ravenwolf Wiccan and see if she gets the insult.

"Artemis is a red-headed heifer b***h."
I kid you not. Also note that Artemis is pronounced "air-tee-mees."

I was in the Akashic record- and I didn't know why, then I realized it was when I was reading for you.
