“Microaggression” list scorns would-be bigots

An official University of California list of racist “microaggressions” asserts that saying “I’m not racist” is racist.

The university guide defines microaggressions as, “everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.”

Examples listed on the university’s official website include telling someone, “you speak English very well,” telling an Asian person that they are good at math and insisting that “America is a melting pot”.

Using the phrase, “I’m not racist, I have several black friends” is also listed as an example of “racism”.

Radio host Dennis Prager highlighted some other examples, which include saying, “There is only one race, the human race,” and also remarking, “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.” Thinking that, “America is the land of opportunity” is also racist, according to the guide.

A white woman who clutches her purse or bag when approached by a black or Latino person is also committing a racist microaggression, according to the guide. Asking non-white people why they are being quiet or loud is also racist.

We’ve previously reported on other universities that use similar guidelines for “microaggressions,” including the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which launched a campaign that claimed using the term “politically correct” as a pejorative is a politically incorrect “microaggression”.

A “Bias-Free Language Guide” posted on the University of New Hampshire website also asserted that the word “American” is “problematic” because it “assumes the U.S. is the only country inside [the continents of North and South America].”

Other discouraged words and phrases included, “obese,” “normal,” “mothering,” “fathering,” “homosexual,” “illegal alien,” and “senior citizens.”

Is saying “Oh, just shut the f*** up!” Racist?

Yes. But if you don't care, then it doesn't matter.

'Tis why the left hates Pres. Trump so much. They can yell "Racist! (or bigot, sexist, etc) at him until they're blue in the face. His response - correct response - is "I Don't Care."

Takes all the power away from them. All they can do is yell louder. Good negotiating technique, and one that any parent with a 3-year-old is familiar with.

“Reading madness like this makes me wonder how the entire world just doesn’t go ape$hit on each other.“

It does, from time to time. Then it settles down for a while. It could be about that time again.

What would they do with a T-Shirt that has, “I don’t give a F%&$ about your feelings!”?

So if you’re not into black chicks, and you don’t swipe right on them on Tinder, is that also a microaggression?

What about fat chicks? Homosexual men?

I just want to know what I’m supposed to do, and who I’m supposed to be attracted to.

So.. cant verbally defend oneself from being called a racist?
Ok. Just punch the reply then.

I agree. The word, “racist” is racist. Think about it.

[coincheck]

But standing there not saying anything is also racist, because not saying anything means that you approve of the racist things that people are saying.....at least that is how the twisted logic goes.......

“A “Bias-Free Language Guide” posted on the University of New Hampshire website also asserted that the word “American” is “problematic” because it “assumes the U.S. is the only country inside [the continents of North and South America].” “

So therefore calling oneself Asian or European would also be problematic.

These people are NUTS!

Boy, I said something that would get me jailed in California.
Walking in Yokahama, Japan I paused for traffic alongside a group of young Japanese guys my own age. To my surprise they were conversing in ENGLISH.
I met eyes with on fellow and could not resist saying, “I am amazed at how well you people do with MY language. Very impressed.”
All of them stood tall, smiling and thanking me, as they were all studying ENGLISH in University. One whispered something to a friend who gave him a “go ahead” nod.
He said, “Thank you, but why do so many Americans speak such poor English? Some seem to have funny accents that make what they say impossible. Is there much of that in your country?”
I just KNEW they were referring to Southerners, many of whom was my delight to serve with.

It’s the “have black friends” part that sounds a little racist. I’m not sure why. But the headline should quote it correctly.

There is a new language in CA

You are a racist.
You were a racist.
You will be a racist.

There is no negative version of this—got it?

Oh, almost forgot—this only applies to white people.

If you are half white and half black then you are half racist?

Such confusing times we live in!

[Lizavetta]

Well said.

The first to disappear are the SJW’s.

Why?

[metmom]

And, if you're a white student at the Unifarcity of Kalifornia, speaking in any way shape or from is racist.

Heck if you're white just existing is racist.
