University of Washington Tacoma - An "antiracist" poster in a college writing center insists American grammar is "racist" and an "unjust language structure," promising to prioritize rhetoric over "grammatical 'correctness.'"
The poster, written by the director, staff, and tutors of the University of Washington, Tacoma's Writing Center, states "racism is the normal condition of things," declaring that it permeates rules, systems, expectations, in courses, school and society.
"Linguistic and writing research has shown clearly for many decades that there is no inherent 'standard' of English," proclaims the writing center's statement. "Language is constantly changing. These two facts make it very difficult to justify placing people in hierarchies or restricting opportunities and privileges because of the way people communicate in particular versions of English."

Once again, that door only swings one way - and I, for one, am sick and tired of it hitting me in the head.
It’s “actin’ white” to read a book.
Those crabs which pull the others back into the bucket are not their friends.
Meanwhile, students from Beijing to Berlin are all falling all over themselves to learn the International Language of Business......ENGLISH!
And when they hit the real world, they are going to be screwed. College is a dream world.
Such as it is with the other far Left tribes.
English aint pretty, but it’s the horse lots of people ride in this world.
Wonder if the gender references in Spanish, French, or German will survive this assault?

Honestly, these people are truly ignorant. English is a composite of all languages spoken by all immigrants who enter the country (all countries where English is spoken). I was a legal immigrant to the U.S. (age 7). I spoke Russian and Spanish at the time and was able to pick up fluid English in a few months because there are so many languages represented in it. I guess my point is that English is one of the least racist languages because there are so many elements of other languages represented in it, which sometimes adds to the confusion but it also adds to the beauty. Too bad the liberal elites are too racist to see that.
English is one of the White Man’s languages, and requiring people of color to speak, read, or write it is by definition, racist. I suggest they pick a language of color and learn that.

She got her first job in her life and blasted the good news all over social media.
Last Friday she got her first paycheck and called her Dad while we were golfing. You would have thought his cellphone was on speaker phone!
After finished listening to her he said, "Can't wait for her to file her taxes."
