Are YOU up to date with new list of HARMFUL words? Stanford U DECREES

Please make a note of these in your phones. You may never know when you need them and could really make a stranger's day.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...eliminate.html
American, grandfather, brave and master: Words Stanford University includes in its index of 'harmful language' because they are 'ableist, sexist or racist'

The Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative will also aim to educate people about the impact that 'racist, violent and biased' words have.

It has listed 10 sections where 'harmful' language can occur under the headings: ableist, ageism, colonialism, culturally appropriative, gender-based, imprecise language, institutionalized racism, person-first, violent and additional considerations.

It has also asked people to stop using the term 'American' as there are 42 countries in the Americas, and it implies 'that the US is the most important country in the Americas', the list says.

In the culturally appropriate category, it says names should be used instead of 'chief' or 'Pocahontas.'

Elsewhere it also asks for the term 'abort' to be changed to 'end' or 'cancel', instead of linking it to abortion.

The site also suggests replacing 'Karen' with 'demanding or entitled White woman', while a 'child prostitute' could be changed to a 'child who has been trafficked'.

It its section on ableist language, the institution says it will 'addict' for a 'person with a substance abuse disorder', and 'committed suicide' to 'died by suicide'.

It also says it will swap the term 'blind review' for 'anonymous review', while 'tone deaf' should be swapped for 'unenlightened' and 'handicap parking' changed to 'accessible parking'.

It also states in its gender-based section that 'pronouns' should be used instead of 'preferred pronouns', as the latter implies that 'gender identity is a choice'.

It also warns against words ending in man or woman, such as 'freshman' or 'congresswoman' as it is not inclusive.

The section on institutionalized racism states that 'black mark' and 'black sheep' are not used because of 'negative connotations to the color black'.

Next word: “freedom”
brb haven’t met one vaxcel who doesn’t get defensive or mad when you tell them you didn’t get it.

No “vax” for HIV after 40 years of research. No vax for cancer after 100 years of research. No vax for the common cold and yet a virus mysteriously appears and Within 12 months a “vax” is found by 4 pharma companies all within 1 week and we are mandated to take it ….

You must have missed where it was clearly explained. "White" is racist. Not sure why this is hard to understand

Don't worry, in their little play-metaverse they can modify the language however they want. Once they step into the real world, it's a different story.

America was better when we were allowed to bully and shame these retards. They feel safe to push this nonsense. We need to make America wild again.
Freedom of speech is a principle pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved and tyranny is erected on its ruins.

the whole list is BS, but cancelling the word "Brave" is the worst, and shows their hatred/war against masculine qualities

These people aren't new, but IMO the amount of attention they receive and how seriously everyone takes it is new-ish.

We need a good word for people who seek out reasons to be offended on the behalf of other people.




My personal first WTF was around 2001 or 2002. I was writing up little reminder/nudge emails for a program we were promoting to independent sales reps and in one I used the phrase "bananas" e.g. you would be bananas to skip this event.

I used clip art at the top of the emails for color and I had a cartoon pic of a monkey. My boss made me change it because in *her* mind a monkey could be interpreted as racist.

You know who is the racist lady? The person who walks around seeing race EVERYWHERE. There was no mention of race in any of the emails text or pics. It was just in her head.

This term 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)

lol I'm sry is it not? Can anyone name a more important country?

And people act like the premise of 1984 was ludicrous.

Also, I own several large, old dictionaries and two sets of encyclopedias. I have been told many times how stupid and outdated they are, "you can just find everything on the Internet!" Yeah, okay.
