Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I need to know the context of this image.

Farthest back example I could find is this. Apparently it's from a textbook?

I found this sociology textbook that has unquoted similar text. https://online.flipbuilder.com/jeru/zjef/index.html#p=60

I think one book plagiarized the other.

Or it could be a different edition. Is the image supposed to convey that kids use slang? And is that supposed to be some sort of revelation?

[–] Kolrami 5 points 11 months ago

More reasonable and more likely explanation. I wonder if they got rid of the image or added it in a new edition.
