Freshmen at a college orientation event have been told not to address other students with the phrase 'you guys' because it could be interpreted as excluding women.

“No.”

avoid asking a black student if he plays basketball

It might be microaggression to notice he's black. Or that he has arms and legs. Or that he's a he.

Best just to act like he's not there. Onward to a better community!

Can’t say “ya’ll,” either. Not since ‘all lives matter,’ anyway: “All” is racist. There’s not much left that is PC except for ‘comrade,’ which explains everything.

Excuse me my good man, I noticed you have a large spherical object in your hand. You appear to be quite tall. You appear to be wearing a sporting Jersey. Do you happen to engage in a sports competition that involves that large spherical object?

Sorry, greetings associated with the racist South will be deemed microaggressions as well.

I'd add a sarcasm tag to this, but it may actually happen.

Male faculty are also told not say “ladies’ because it might be interpreted as harassment.

Dont show them this old TV show because it’s now the most offensive thing ever only just 10 seconds in.

“You guys” isn’t sexist, it’s Yankee. Y’all is obviously proper.

Special Ed.

These were the kids that tortured the flies on the windowsill - and then ate them.

A few years ago I was working as a sports photographer for one of the more significant “Seven Sisters” colleges. I was setting up a team picture.

I got corrected when I referred to them as “Ladies.” As in, “Ladies, can I get the seniors sitting in the front row.”

I was told that they were women, not ladies.

I responded, “I did not care what they did on Saturday night; I treated all women as if they are Ladies. Whether they deserve it or not.”

Such PC Bull crap.
