Guess that happens when some 2 bit Politically Correct dumbazz imagines what's a correct response. In trying to sanitize, they are throwing the baby along with the bathwater and the sad part is they don't even realize it. Liking somebody shoes, asking where your from or about sports teams are defined as microagressions, well, UNC must be ashamed and deserves all ridicule which is thrown in it's way Some things don't change. the rest are useless | ||

This story starts with University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, putting up an insane speech code list which they finally took down. I am not as concerned with the speech code--one of many highly restrictive, anti-First Amendment codes--as I am with the fact that the person creating it is not even American and does not have a degree from this country. It's clear that Sharbari Dey, the diversity commissar in question, does not really understand American law or even our cultural notions of free speech. Why does she have a job telling American students and American professors what to do? Unlike the professors she is policing, Dey has a mere master's--from India. | ||

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has released a new list of “microaggressions” posted on the employee forum website which are deemed offensive, including one’s choice of compliments, sports and vacations. To help staff members avoid offense, the university recommends a “gender-neutral” dress code and to avoid using phrases like “husband/boyfriend.” An editor’s note on the forum post specifies, “This blog post does not represent University policy. The piece was compiled from research and published scholarly works in response to Forum members’ interest in the topic of microaggressions.” The post highlights the need to understand “implicit bias,” defined as “thoughts and feelings that occur independently of conscious intention, awareness, or control”; microaggressions occur when these internal thoughts manifest during interpersonal interactions.” They further define microaggressions as “brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial, gender, sexual orientation and religious slights and insults to the target person or group.” These “indignities” include complimenting a speaker on her footwear, using the terms “husband/boyfriend” or “wife/girlfriend” instead of “partner/spouse,” asking where someone is from, referencing Christmas vacation or suggesting a round of golf. The site includes a list of actions and how they are interpreted through the lens of microaggression. For example, “Having an office dress code that applies to men and women differently” is incorrect because it “assumes that your staff fits into one of two gender categories; can also be a violation of anti-discrimination policies.” http://wnd.com/2016/06/where-ya-from-now-an-act-of-microaggr ession/#BGzH48zOUrMX1Wxr.99 |
