The whole initiative is asinine, but one word, in particular, stands out among the rest.
According to Stanford University, the word ‘American’ is harmful.
Stanford would rather the term ‘U.S. Citizen’ be used because American typically refers to “people from the United States only, thereby insinuating the U.S. is the most important country in the Americas.”
In other words, Stanford, a university located in the United States, does not believe the United States is the most important country in the Americas.
Stanford not being in the camp of the United States being the best country in the world is no shock at all, but publicly stating the U.S. isn’t even the most important country in the Americas takes things to an entirely different level of wokeness that’s hard to comprehend.

Can we use American if it is hyphenated?
This is beyond absurd. Liberals must be staying up nights trying to devise yet another crazy comment to get attention and push their agenda.
Citizen of Rome - just has a better ring to it.
Bunch of idiots. I call them Merkins. (look it up, it fits)
Get used to it. Most of the world calls us Americans. What would they suggest instead? United Stateser?
bunch of dinks
its in the name
should we be United Statesians?
Hire enough weirdos for faculty, this is what you get.
My Australian friends called us ‘septics’. Cockney rhyming slang: Yanks ... Septic Tanks... Septics.....
DemocRATS love to divide, divide, divide. They just love finding more and more ways to divide us up, and then pit one group against another. They are, after all, the party of segregation and the KKK.
Stanford University, while touting and celebrating ‘diversity’ has developed segregated housing: Ujamaa House is for African-American; Okada House is for Asians; Casa Zapata is for Chicanx and Latinx (99% of Spanish speakers do not like the new Latinx phraseology, and they do not speak Latin either).
The Stanford University website explains: “”Our ethnic theme communities have a rich and long history of engaging students at the highest levels of intellectual discovery and advancing diversity””
‘Advancing diversity’ by segregation. Sounds right out of 1984.
Once the caucasoid race has been sufficiently denigrated, diminished, etc, they will divide up further, into sub-sub-groups. I remember when Zimmerman VS Trayvon exploded, and for the first time I heard the term White-Hispanic. University of California developed an Asian-White category because too many Asians were admitted to the various UCs around the State. The Asians were succeeding at the same level, or even higher, than the evil Caucasians. Heck, the word Asian is PART OF the word Caucasian, CaucASIAN, so there must be some contamination, and therefore we must correct enough to achieve ‘equity.’ I remember the ultimate race hustler, shakedown artist, and divider Jessie Jackson rioting and protesting for, not just equity of admissions, but equity of outcomes. In other words, the percentage and quota of diplomas had to equal admissions. You must award a diploma according to race, not achievement. In order to accomplish this, you will need to make sure that they pass enough courses. Whether or not they have mastered the course material is, well, immaterial. You gave Whitey and Asian-Whitey a diploma, you must give others the same diploma. I can just see Jackson and his ilk issuing subpoenas for college transcripts, comparing by race, and then demanding his classic shakedown fee to prevent protests and riots. The fee was often $250,000 to one of Jackson’s many nonprofits, and a hidden fee for himself. He eventually shook down enough places to build all his mansions, horse farms, and baby mommas. Another unforgettable moment was Jackson ‘counseling’ Clinton during Clinton’s Monica ‘troubles.’ There is a photo from that time, with Clinton, Jackson, and a very pregnant woman by a swimming pool. What is definitely NOT in the caption is the very pregnant woman beside Jackson. She is not his wife. Lovely, just lovely.
The nut jobs have all become anihilists. The need to serve up the Kool-Aid? It just keeps getting crazier and crazier.
I guess The New World wasn’t good enough either...
USAns.
Long past time to eliminate anti-American Stalinazi woke universities and their deranged and degenerate employees brainwashing and grooming students.
President Merkin Muffley approves.
Wonder how much American tax payer dollars they recive every year?
Ivy League schools are nothing but cesspools of putrid communist Marxist ideology on super steroids.
Ironically people pay big bucks to go to them to become even bigger idiots than they start out as. Then spend the rest of their lives paying back the loans for the privilege of being nothing more than two buck chuck.
The really nasty ones become journalists, politicians, attorneys, and FBI/DOJ Marxists.
and conservatives will obey
Something about that name...
I used to have a co-worker with that family name (Stanford), and he was about as stupid (and hateful) as the university.
