As we bid them adieu, Ruth, the sleuth, thought Lyudmila looked familiar, and did a quick Google search.  Sure enough, we had just been talking to the former Lyudmila Putin, Vladimir’s ex-wife!

If you can’t identify with the cultural experience of an oppressed minority, so it goes, it’s off-limits to use anything reflecting that culture.  Should whites, then, be banned from performing jazz, or the blues?  What about gay actors playing straight roles; or blacks playing white roles (as in Broadway’s “Hamilton”)? 

It’s nuts!  Oregon’s Department of Education has developed a teaching resource entitled, “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction,” aimed at removing racism from 6th-8th-grade math.  Seems that math + traditional teaching methods = white supremacy!
