Mindless virtue signaling by the University of Oregon.

It is understood a white woman who overheard the joke reported it to officials at the University of Oregon, which runs the festival, claiming it amounted to a racial slur.

So, a white woman determined it was a 'slur' when the black guy didn't, so ran and told the 'officials' who promptly sacked him without any due process..........................

I was catoring an event years ago.
We all were in tux.
A black co-worker was in a white tux and I was in a black tux.
I made the cooment “he looked like my photo negative”
You would have thought I called him the “N” word.
I was told I was being racks?

I hope someone is keeping track and cataloguing this craziness. In the future, people won't believe it otherwise.

Yes. Autocorrect for sexism is “stacked.”

Probably liberals just eating their own. It’s the only other way they’ll learn, until the revolution.

We should warn unsuspecting Foreigners about our comical nancy pants, Politically Correct, feel good and offended social culture here in the USA. I have foreign friends and colleagues that make fun of America for being so PC. We really do not understand how bad it is until you listen to others point out the insanity. We have gotten used to this.

According to my Mexican Colleagues, in the USA....

“You cannot talk about girls.”
“You cannot talk about spouses or boy/girlfriends”
“You cannot talk about Mexicans, Muslims, Asians or black people.”
“You cannot talk about God.”
“You cannot talk about Christmas or Santa Claus.”
“You cannot talk about gay people.”
“You cannot talk about (people with Downs Syndrome).”
“You cannot talk about handicap people.”

And they are right. When you know their language and listen to them have casual conversation, they are a much more relaxed people and do not get offended easily.

“And they call US nazis.........................”

Let's be honest - they will denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with them and recognize them as all-wise. They use words as weapons: Nazi, bigot, racist, xenophobe, white nationalist, white-privileged, sexist, angry white male, deplorables, clinging to God and guns, homophobes, rednecks, climate change deniers, anti-science, etc. etc.

Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically assault Whites.

An uptight, frustrated, ideological, credulous, leftist white woman. We all know the type.

After being a fly on the wall in many rich people’s homes in the catering business (Dallas), I’d much rather be wearing a tux as a server than as a guest!
