Poem "Eurofag"
Dublin Core
Title
Poem "Eurofag"
Description
This poem from the Spring 1990 issue of the Messenger features an assumedly French female student who corrects a classmate's pronunciation of the word 'femme fatale.' Another classmate then reminds her that they aren't in France. The narrator then wonders if the girl's "Hermes scarf / feels like a / noose," evoking lynching or hanging. The title also contains a derogatory term; the term "Eurofag" condescendingly refers to someone who believes Europe is superior to the rest of the word. This term perpetuates the stereotype that associates Europeans and the LGBT community.
