So it was given to the Mandalay State Government, and then the State gave it to private businesses

Homi Bhabha is an academician who is currently the Director of the Humanities Center at Harvard University as well as the Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of English and American Literature and Language. He is a significant figure in the contemporary post-colonial studies and had contributed key ideas to the school such as Third-space, Hybridity, Ambivalence, and Mimicry to name a few.

Short Answer: A football (or as Americans like to say, soccer) player.

Long Answer: Born in Marseille, France to Algerian immigrants, Zidane is most well known for being a three-time FIFA World Player of the Year who led France to victory in the 1998 World Cup. He has played for clubs in France, Italy and Spain, but his career ended when he was expelled from the 2006 World Cup final for headbutting an opponent.

So if the incongruence was never explained or solved, then the situation would not be humorous? I suppose some of this is true. Kind of like punchlines. Once that is delivered, things that didn't seem to add up or make sense becomes really clear.

K&P sort of had that with the fact that by the end of their sketch, the cop wanted to give the civilian his magic show poster, which explained why the cop had been playing all these magic tricks in the middle of pulling someone over (and for the record, that card trick was pretty cool)

Rather than saying the relief is what makes the situation humorous, I would be more willing to believe that the humour makes me feel more relieved about the situation.

Or maybe seeing something unexpected would cause you to be relief, and because you're not as tense as before, you're able to laugh and see the humour in it?

So in other words, a situation is humorous if it evokes conflicting emotions within the person viewing it.

Key and Peele - I do feel conflicted about this sketch because on one hand, it's a serious and pertinent problem in reality as the sombre tone of the first few seconds of the sketch conveyed while it was still being pretty normal. However, as it continued on, it got increasingly interrupted by amateur magic tricks by the cop, who also had the most hilarious impressions thanks to Key, that did make me want to laugh. However, I felt that I shouldn't laugh - this conflicting emotions just make me feel guilty, not humorous. Am I misinterpreting this category?

Because she just won the Olympics final and since - very uderstandably - it is an amazing and wonderful accomplishment, she danced in this manner to express her joy in celebration.

The way the act was described covers a layer of deliberate prejudice over her actions, however. "...Crip-Walking all over.." implies a certain amount of chaos or scene being made when in reality, it barely lasted a few seconds, contained within her little spot at her side of the court. And watching her move like that with a huge smile on her face, as well as her sister's, anyone would be hard pressed or extremely biased to interpret this action as anything other than just an automatic reaction borne out of happiness and joy.

I think it refers to when someone makes fun of certain characteristics or features of another person with the intent to tease or amuse but without any malicious intentions. By this I mean, they did not do it to hurt the other, or would/should not have done it if they knew it would've hurt the person they were mocking regardless of it giving others enjoyment.

Does she mean the western civilization? That she would not have been part of the USA as she was then had it not been for slavery?

I have a similar response when people try to point out the difference between "Myanmar" and "Burma" to me and the political significance of it. The change happened prior to my birth, so it has always been Myanmar to me. However, I do have very strong feelings about the changing of the flag...

They were protective of her, then? They cared for her in a more sincere way separate from the superficial way the whites treated her despite the treatment being more "positive" towards her "joyful tendencies".

I wonder why though - is it because they felt the coloredness clearly and constantly unlike Zora and therefore could not share the joy she freely did in her childlike innocence?

I honestly don't understand what she means by this. Help?

I wonder what about the exchanges were queer to her. Did they compliment each other out of politeness about things they didn't really mean, which struck her, even as a young child, to be strange?

I can imagine this statement being very powerful in the social context of that time. When "people of color" was thrown around normatively, this sentence would have made many reconsider their idea of colored was and how one can be considered as such.

On a personal level, I can relate to this very well. As someone who grew up in Asia, I never considered myself a person of color or a minority or any other label that would not only distinguish but also made me inferior in one phrase. We had different ethnicities and different races, sure, but it didn't give me the feeling of somehow being less than "poc" in the USA does, even as the people of color themselves are trying to reclaim these terms as empowerment.

I can't decide if this is a sign of my privilege and luck previously as I am part of the major ethnic group in Burma while Singapore takes extraneous pains to ensure racial harmony and balance, or if it's just an imbalance in the part of the United States.

The instructions above used this as an example of how Zora Neale Hurston was not ashamed to be colored when to me, I interpreted it as her highlighting some sort of shortcoming on her part at that point of time that didn't make her "colored-ness" less severe.

The saddest and scariest thing to me about these hate crimes is that it has all to do with something beyond your own control. The perpetrators hate you, hurt you not for something you have done or can do, but rather for the sake of you simply being you. I can only imagine how much worse it would be for those who actually have experienced it and have this threat looming over them every day. It's unbelievably scary to me that we live in a world - no, a society - like this. But perhaps we can be empowered by the the fact that the fault lies in the beliefs and norms we have built around ourselves when it comes to race, and not something that is set in stone. I believe this means that we still have the power to turn these assumptions and harmful stereotypes around.

My first inclination was to say that it is an actual street as it has the main criteria I believe a street should have: there is a path that allows for movement - in other words, a literal physical street itself. There are other features present that one would commonly see in other "actual streets": a sign indicating its name, and features at the side (such as houses and cars and some vegetation in this case).

But then I looked up the meaning of the word "actual" and Merriam Webster gave me this definition: "real and not merely possible or imagined : existing in fact".

Now, this made me pause.

Sure, this image shows a street - but based on this image alone and my prior knowledge about its context (which is to say, none) I cannot say with 100% confidence that this street truly exists outside of this virtual plane. By this. I expect to be able to go to this place in person and see it for myself in reality. Otherwise, with Photoshop and other truly amazing computer effects of the 21st century, it is entirely possible that someone just cropped and edited various photos into this collection of one image.

So I believe that it is entirely possible for this to be a street, however, unless I am able to confirm its physical existence in our reality, I cannot exactly say that it is an "actual street".

First, I can deduce that it is probably a suburban area given the ubiquitous presence of similar residential houses in the immediate vicinity of this picture. The street looks clean and well-kept, so I believe this means this could be a good neighbourhood with residents or a local authority that ensures a nice standard of living for everyone. Plus, the car in the background implies that there are people living here despite the absence of any, so I do not believe it is a deserted area. So the people around here are probably middle-class, a little on the upper end, well-educated with jobs.

The size and design of the house shouts family to me, but this might not necessarily mean kids, especially since I can't see any hint of children.

The sky is clear and the vegetation is sparse with the grass looking a little thirsty - I'd say this is also in a hot and dry climate. Desert climates come to mind. I wonder why there aren't any people on the street given such nice weather, though.

But at the end of the day, these meanings I just gave were assigned based on my own personal experiences and assumptions. Does that mean this exercise shows more about me than it does about the picture?

Perhaps there is a place where houses are empty with abandoned cars and clean streets with a road called Jim Crow. I have yet to seen one outside of post-apocalyptic movies with zombie outbreaks, though.
