      An amazing benefit of my privilege is being able to say "I didn't understand that. Could you explain it again?" as many times as necessary without having to worry that people will think I'm stupid.

      If you didn't understand something I said, please ask me as many times as necessary. In fact, I'm delighted when this happens. As a professor, knowing when something I explained didn't make sense is extremely valuable feedback that helps me do better.

      Arvind Narayanan Retweeted Rabbi Ruti Regan  🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇸

      I'm a tenured computer science professor who looks like what many people expect a tenured computer science professor to look like. The follow up I get after someone asks "So what do you do?" is nearly always "Oh, you must be really smart."https://twitter.com/RutiRegan/status/1298666938386784256 …

      I didn’t know that anyone had that kind of privilege.

      These should go without saying, but: – I didn't do anything special to deserve this privilege. – Everyone should have this privilege. I will do my part toward that. – You don't need anything special to be a CS professor. You do need a lot of preparation—like any other profession.

      Me: I'll write a lengthy article and immediately be lectured about the most basic thing on same topic. I'll do complicated analytic work and be "praised" as a communicator, not an analyst or researcher. I'll quote from an essay and be recommended that I read that very essay.

          I'll still ask for an explanation if I don't understand something.😃 I'm comfortable enough not to care but the pattern is amazing. It's persistent no matter what I do or write or any public praise or acknowledgment from any corner—no track record counters or blocks it.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
