A comedian has turned down a gig at a university after being asked to sign a "behavioural agreement" first.
Konstantin Kisin was warned about a "no tolerance policy" on topics including racism, sexism and transphobia.
He was asked to perform at a gig at the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London, organised by university society Unicef on Campus.
The group has since apologised and the Students' Union says it "believes fully in freedom of speech".
Konstantin told Radio 1 Newsbeat the experience reflects a growing trend of free speech becoming stifled on university campuses across the UK.
He shared the "behavioural agreement form" online, saying the title "nearly made me puke"

> I thought “Oriental” was out of the question ?
If I ever called my Vietnamese wife Asian, she’d probably hit me upside of the head.
She says she’s Oriental; Asians are from India and the southern part of the old Soviet Union.
Maybe dog and cat jokes are okay. I didn’t “speciesist” on the list.= = =
But were they “Trans’ed”?

My American born Japanese DIL prefers Asian.
Personal choice,I guess.

I don’t know what he’s so worked up about. He could do what just about every other comedian does...string a bunch of f bombs and other profanities together and call it an act.
That way all of today's social pariahs can hang out and have some fun together.
I think she’s fighting an uphill battle there.
If it’s in Asia, it’s Asian.
Unless you’re like me and don’t call people from New Jersey or New York “Americans”
I love that joke!
Thanks csvset. Good time for him to have had a Sharpie to scrawl "Up Yours" across the entire text of the yellow-dog document.
Sounds like all you can do is a bunch of knock knock jokes. Even some of those are racy. To these snowflakes anyway.
So...I guess calling someone a gimp is racist now...
The left just sucks all the fun out of life.
"YOU CAN'T EAT SAND!!!!.... MOVE THE PEOPLE TO WHERE THE FOOD IS!!!!"
Ableism.... can’t pick on stupid people
Ron White could never perform there!!!
It’s peenatism. You are peenatist!
Or Andrew Dice Clay.
Or Eddie Murphy
“BTW, what the hell is Ableism?”
It’s the opposite of Cainism.
Gee whiz, we need Sam Kinison back so he can take a flamethrower to this fascist PC society.
No one should sign the silly little ‘I’m having a big tantrum agreement’ form. The Comedian should have told them to wad up their form and shove it up ‘where the sun don’t shine’...
appears that ethnic jokes are not banned
