I talk about an email that a professor posted in a sociology group chat that I belong to. The student asked, "Will I miss anything important?" I reflect on why this question seems so offensive to professors, what my own response would be, and analyze how other professors responded. I then demonstrate how the content and tone of our correspondence to students can negatively affect underrepresented minorities.
