A University of Michigan student was removed from the school’s Residence Staff for asking what an acronym meant and was called “racist” for laughing at a subsequent joke.
The student, identified by the school’s newspaper only as “Chris,” was having a text conversation with other Resident Staff members over the internet. At one point he noticed that one member, who happened to be an African American woman, changed her handle to “Markley’s BBW.”
Mary Markley Hall is a residence hall at the university.
Chris subsequently asked, “What does BBW stand for?” to which another staff member responded, “bad baby walrus,” which Chris laughed at.
He has now been removed from the staff and called “racist” for the incident in question. The college claimed they removed him because of a “class requirement technicality,” but the problem had been resolved over a month before the disciplinary action.
Further, despite the college’s claim that it was because of a technicality, they specifically referenced the incident in question, and advised the student that he needs to know “how to better manage your involvements and to hold yourself accountable for your actions.”

In an earlier time, she would have told all her friends he is a jerk, don’t date him, and maybe told him off in person. Now his “job” on campus is under duress and a Mini PC Spanish Inquisition continues. He should have looked it up in the Urban Dictionary on his own time and this would have never had happened....

Big Butt Woman.
See, women with big butts like to think this means ‘Big Beautiful Woman’ but it really just means they’ve got big butts.
Honestly I always thought it meant big beautiful woman
It stands for "Big Beautiful Woman. " It is generally used as a polite/complementary euphemism to denote a woman who is overweight.
I've get to get more up to date on my porn-site dating lingo.
But it explains why I've been trying to have computer relations with some hot chocolate babe, and I keep getting Rosanne Barr.
Once again, even communicating about anything beyond the weather on a college or with a minority can be career and college ending. People decry the self isolation of various groups, but it is becoming hazardous to even talk to any protected group.
“BBW
A word that fat chicks use as a euphemism for fat. These girls usually run personal ads calling themselves “pleasingly plump.” Sure, you’re pleasingly plump if the South Pole is refreshingly chilly.”

Right, racist. Should have seen that coming.
Winner !!
Another idiotic school and another idiotic decision. BTW, anyone know anything about buying a short sale house? just wondering
Like I said. Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do.
Wait, the person who made the joke wasn’t punished? Just the person who did not understand it?
weird
I doubt you can discuss the weather either because climate change.
