SStanford University IT released an index of “harmful language” that it recommends be erased from the school’s websites. The list includes the terms “American” and “Hispanic.”
The list is a product of the “Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative,” which aims to “eliminate” words that may be deemed “racist, violent, and biased,” the document reads. The index lists a wide variety of words — some of which are commonly used — and provides an alternative word and an explanation of why the language may be harmful.
There are ten “harmful language” sections outlined in the document including: ableist, ageism, colonialism, culturally appropriate, gender-based, and biased (e.g., disability bias, ethnic bias, ethnic slurs, gender bias, implicit bias, sexual bias) language.
The list recommends banning the term “American” and replacing it with “U.S. Citizen,” as it reportedly implies that the U.S. is the “most important country in the Americas.”
“This term [American] often refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas (which is actually made up of 42 countries),” the list reads.
TWEET: You guys, this list of words that Stanford doesn't want us to use anymore is truly insane.

A person should also use the term “LatinX” instead of “Hispanic,” since the former term is connected to Spanish colonization, the document reads. It also listed the word “Karen,” explaining that it can “ridicule or demean” a group of people due to their behaviors. The list further includes the term “straight,” “victim,” “grandfather,” “landlord,” “gentleman,” “ladies” and “chief.” (RELATED: Stanford Students Compare Ben Shapiro To A Cockroach On Protest Flyer)
The list recommends replacing the term “straight” with “heterosexual” because it allegedly “implies that anyone who is not heterosexual is bent or not ‘normal.'” The term “people of color” should also be switched to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).
The “Institutionalized Racism” category bans the terms “black mark,” “brown bag,” “master,” and “white paper” for its alleged racial connotations. The “Person-First” category lists the terms “immigrant,” “prostitute,” and “homeless person” as they define an individual by a single characteristic.
The document included a disclaimer assuring staff and students that it does not intend to completely remove the words from its websites, noting that elimination is “a goal to strive for even if it can’t be achieved.”

Morons just created a recursion.
Most Hispanic or Latin-American folks around where I live would cut you for calling them LatinX.
Erm, the U.S. IS the most important country in the Americas. Duh.
It’s not even close.

‘Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we’re not far from that point. But the process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller.

The marauding, murdering gangsters killing each other across our nation will get right on it, no bad words for them!
” “ The term “people of color” should also be switched to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). “ “
That redefinition appears to have been written by ‘ The Chairman of The Department of Redundancy Department Chairman ‘
They all hate us anyhow. Let’s drop the big one now.
Leland Stanford is rolling in his grave.
The original “woke” school, that changed their team name from “Indians” to “Cardinal” in 1971.
Colored people works for me.
.
By controlling language they think that they can control thoughts. By controlling thoughts they think that they can change behavior. By changing behavior they believe that they can change the inner workings of a person.
Bad news guys humans are pretty rotten proven by Marxists murdered 100 million last century trying to change humans by political correctness.
Dear Vladimir Putin. I have it on good authority that Stanford University is aiding Ukraine in the war effort. You must use a nuclear warhead to stop this travesty. Thank you for your consideration.
My backyard trees are offended by the Stanford Trees
They need to do something about that if they ever want to be taken seriously
Stanford used to be a great university. Today it is just another grade C leftist shit-hole.
I guess they just be identified again by "wetback whore with no permanent housing" again.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.
They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.
Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
================================================
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.
They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
================================================
Ezekiel 16:49-50 "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:
She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
They were haughty and did detestable things before me.
Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary. |
The Vandy grad is particularly insufferable. We cannot talk about anything, especially anything safe and effective. That school should be bulldozed.
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.
Speaking of baby mommas, another unforgettable moment was the Reverend Jackson ‘ministering’ 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.
