Holy hell.

When students arrive on campus at the University of New Hampshire this fall, they’ll be welcomed with a “Bias-Free Language Guide” to help them in their conversations.

Since college campuses have become very concerned with “microaggressions” being committed on their campuses, UNH decided to help their students understand which words might offend others.

But, according to Campus Reform:

"The university website encourages readers to understand that the guide 'is not a means to censor but rather to create dialogues of inclusion where all of us feel comfortable and welcomed.'"

A few of the words which are deemed “problematic” are:

American
Mothering
Fathering
Illegal Alien
Caucasian
Homeless
Poor person
Obese
Overweight
Healthy
Orientals
Freshmen
For each category, the University makes recommendations that, for the most part, are much longer and contain multiple words.

Instead of “poor person,” for instance, the student should say “person who lacks advantages that others have.” Mothering and fathering are frowned upon because they advance gender stereotypes. Instead, one should use “parenting” or “nurturing” because they describe the behavior.

“European-American individuals” is the favored term over “Caucasian.” And instead of “healthy,” use “non-disabled individual.”

The purpose is to:

"…not stereotype or demean people based on personal characteristics."

Students will be able to access the university’s 4,750-word web page to easily understand which words they are supposed to use when conversing with their peers.

The world is literally fucking insane.

Am I glad that the universities and general society over here has not been tainted with this kind of stuff I keep reading about.
It's happening in the UK, though. Shit's spreading to Europe.

About six months ago the national students' union banned gays wearing drag because it 'appropriates' black woman culture.

What the hell is wrong with American?
It oppresses immigrants.

Oops, sorry. "Non-citizenised U.S. residents of international origin".

And they banned applause because it's 'triggering' to people with anxiety.

You have to use jazz hands, instead.

It's pretty much considered normal behaviour now in United Cuckdom academia.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

I would read this just for the specific purpose of knowing which words "offend" so I can add it to my everyday vocabulary.

Fuck that political correctness

Finally the system is addressing these derogatory cultural pejoratives. I'll finally be concisely recognized as someone "who lacks the advantages that others have" to describe my "economic situation." Being a hetero cis male I'm glad that such common parenting terms (though I've never heard them myself) have finally been recognized for their disparaging capability for advancing the patriarchy and oppressing us poor penised individuals simultaneously. Oh, and thank non-ablist sentiments that we directly and unabashedly label the disabled as such, "healthy" indeed smacks too much of pussyfooting (but not due to any disability) around our inherent disposition to target the disabled as opposed to describing the regular function of immune systems.
I might skip class to really hammer these habits home, wouldn't want to disparage the writer of that 4,750 word document.

I saw this a while ago and basically the university relegated it to the silly statements of a few individuals, not at all a standard accepted or enforced by the university. The list is pretty extensive (and ridiculous), though.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

I have a question.

If American is a "trigger" word then why are they telling me to refer to white people as "European-Americans?

Maybe if they actually spoke in detail precisely what is supposed to be remotely offensive about these terms, I might be able to see where they're coming from.

It would still be stupid, but...

I'm not sure if it's linked in the article, but the original post has a decent amount of detail for each entry, with several recommended substitutes for the words. It's very thorough, but still nonsensical.
