Yes I'm talking about whether to nerd or not to nerd. With a very narrow focus. I'm a graduate student in linguistics at Northwestern and I get funded in part by tutoring other graduate students in English. I recently got assigned a practice tutoring session with a Korean male of about my age. The question is, do I nerd, and wear my CJ Entus shirt, or do I not nerd, and conceal my massive Lee Jae Dong fandom? I leave this decision to you.  | ||

I know what I'm going to get in general, but TL tends to be a pretty level-headed and considerate community. I do only get two sessions with the guy, so not an enormous amount of opportunity here. But at the same time I'm thinking that if my goal is to improve his English, getting him willing to talk about something of mutual interest doesn't seem like a bad idea, and given that he'll know what CJ is, I'm sure that might spark some conversation. | ||

But in the end, it is just if you care what other people think about you or if you do not. | ||

He gets upset that you wear a shirt about Starcraft and thinks you are being racist? That's nuts. If you want to wear the shirt, wear it. In all likelihood he won't notice unless he knows CJEntus and then bam, conversation topic. Win/Win | ||
