Is it appropriation if non-people of color are on public assistance?

I’m going to make a prediction. In 20 years (maybe less) these “ridiculously PC moments” won’t raise an eyebrow.
Because they will all be generally accepted behaviors.

A Clemson University diversity training taught participants that it was offensive to expect people to be on time, because time may be considered fluid in some cultures. Okay, but the United States is NOT one of those cultures.

An online course instructed math teachers to teach their students how math has been historically used to oppress people. In all seriousness, I would like to hear someone try to explain how math has been used to oppress people. I bet it would be hilarious.

That term should be "people of non-color". How insensitive of you. /s

Well, here’s one for 2018. The Wall Street Journal has an article today about professors at the University of Northern Iowa asserting that civility on campus must be stamped out, as it is “whiteness-informed civility” and reinforces “white racial power.”

8. A British student union tried to ban clapping and cheering because it was not inclusive to deaf people.
When I first read this, I read it as clapping and cheering being not inclusive to DEAD people. Was that insensitive?

More likely, they'll be law!

No wonder why these people end up living at home until they’re 30. How do they function in the corporate world, where you actually have to show up on time and perform?

Well, Ma and Pa Kettle did use math to drive some poor guy crazy.

The epitome of absurdity.
Higher education in the US is an effing joke with a crappy punchline.

“A Seattle councilman expressed concern that hosing down some filthy sidewalks that smelled of excrement might be insensitive because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.”
4 out of 5 black inferiorists would agree!

These people need to be very careful what they ask for. My “whiteness-informed civility” is the only thing keeping me from going full-Road-Warrior on their ivory-towered a$$es..
