When I worked in Chile in 1977, somebody asked me where I was from. I answered “I’m an American.” I was shocked to see his hurt face. He responded “We are Americans, too.” That had never occurred to me before.
No, I do not offer any forgiveness.
Stanford. Fag City.
“We value the input...”
Isn’t the United States of America the only country with America in its official name? If no other, then case closed for Stanford’s stupidity.
Okay, let’s correct it then and tell everyone that as a US university, American is okay and encouraged. Waiting...
Stanford University is scrambling to respond to backlash following reports that an internal guide of removing “harmful language” from the school’s online materials included the term “American.”
Many studies are complete bunkum by liberal arts professors who need to publish or keep their names in the forefront.
Too much media and too many “journalists and newsmen” crowd the airwaves trying to attract attention.
Most of the news on TV and in fact, the internet and elsewhere is rehashed bunk with “opinions” we are supposed to take seriously when the opinions should be given a loud raspberry. **including my own.

lots of hits with stanford damage control..................
WE(Stanford) are sorry we were caught.
If the horse is already dead, how are you abusing it?
I would never hire anyone from Stanford, Yale, Harvard, etc. Never. Anytime someone tells me they went there, it is a huge red flag.
“The term “American” is a common shorthand for people from the United States and no other country in the Western Hemisphere frequently uses it as an identifier for their citizens.”
WAAAAA. This is such stupidity. Americans are Americans because we live in America. Do Canadians say “I’m Canadian American” Do Peruvians say “I’m Peruvian American.” The “New World” is the only place you are not a race, you are a nationality. Maybe you can describe your race “Mestizo” etc... So tough titties if some poor Stanford administrator gets butthurt about it.
Latin American, Central American, North American, African American, etc. etc. etc. But you all know.
Stanford Dictionary of Philosophy breaks up the Western Hemisphere into “Latin America, Mexico, America and Canada”.
Nowhere therein does it claim “America” is Latin America—There are hundreds of entries that split North and South America into the above categories, Latin America, Mexico, America and Canada.
These Stanford people are Marxist commie revisionists beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Too late Stanford!
I, and no doubt millions like me, after reading this report, have “Stanford” on our FY list “forever”. Disrespect America and get disrespected back. It’s that simple.
Stanford can go to hell.
