Satire has to be exaggerated. Based on reality, but stretched to absurdity, to highlight certain aspects of the real world.Since the attitude portrayed in the article prevails at many schools, it can't be satire. It might be how he really feels, or it might be fiction.But it's just not absurd. Suppose someone wrote in 1948 that they hated black people, and that if a blacks marched for civil rights, they'd use fire hoses, dogs and nightsticks on them.It wouldn't be satire. Neither is this. |
