One of my former students was a backup dancer at the Halftime Show

The good one. The one repping Nueva York y Washington Heights. Y todos los paises en el hemispherico occidental.

My colleagues group chat blew up when we saw one of our students from way back in 2012 on the freakin' superbowl.

Wanted to be a dancer and ended up on Superbowl Halftime.

I taught science, so I cannot claim much credit, but I know the guy!

(of course because the dancers were brown but that’s a given) some of the dancers were normal, natural women with normal, natural women’s bodies. Natural women absolutely disgust him, brown ones all the more so.

As usual, he was projecting.

My theory is that he was just jealous because they didn't invite him to do his trademark "jerking off with both hands" moves while dancing to YMCA.
