Do you have several black friends, compliment people of color, and think that America is a melting pot?

You’re a racist.

That’s according to the University of Wisconsin’s “Examples of Racial Microaggressions,” a list of discouraged phrases and behaviors that are being given to new faculty and staff. I’m not making this up. This isn’t a spoof or a hoax. You can visit the official University of Wisconsin website and see this for yourself.

Here’s an actual list of things that according to the University of Wisconsin are racist;

– Asking someone where they are from or where they were born.

– Telling someone they speak good English.

– Telling someone that you have several black friends.

– Saying that you’re not a racist.

– Complimenting an Asian person by telling them they are very articulate.

– Asking an Asian person for help with science or math.

– Uttering the phrase “There is only one race, the human race.”

– Saying that you think America is a melting pot and that when you look at someone you don’t see race.

– Believing that the most qualified person, regardless of race, should get the job.

– Thinking that every person, regardless of race, can succeed in society if they work hard enough.

– Telling a black person who is being too loud to be quiet.

– Telling an Asian or Latino person who is too quiet to speak up.

– Mistaking a person of color for a staff member when you’re in a store.

– Calling something “gay”.

– Doing an impression of someone’s dialect or accent.

The University of Wisconsin told the College Fix that the words and behaviors are not banned per se, but acknowledged that this list is being used in faculty and staff training courses. The list is also very similar to one being used for faculty training at the University of California and other colleges across the country. So there you have it, you’re a racist. And don’t try and deny the fact that you’re a racist because, as the list above illustrates, that only proves you’re a racist. See the full list below.

I'm not even allowed to ask where someone is from anymore? How will I know what state they are from so I can properly insult them?

Why the frick are they demonizing hard work? Anyone CAN succeed if they bust their arse. Hard work and a little luck is how nearly every entrepreneur who hit it big got to where they are. frick you, bust your arse.

I'm a person who usually values silence. If someone is being a loud, inconsiderate shite, regardless of race, I'm going to tell them to shut the frick up.

You can't tell black people to be quiet because it takes away their clutural baggage? So loud is now a verified cultural norm?

Liberals are reaching so hard to "protect the minorities" they are touching their shoulder blades.

per Wiki

quote:

A thoughtcrime is an occurrence or instance of controversial or socially unacceptable thoughts. The term is also used to describe some theological concepts such as disbelief or idolatry, or a rejection of strong social or philosophical principles.

The term was popularized in the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, wherein thoughtcrime is the criminal act of holding unspoken beliefs or doubts that oppose or question the ruling party. In the book, the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects. To entertain unacceptable thoughts is known as crimethink in Newspeak, the ideologically purified dialect of the party.

Frick this to hell.

A poor black kid from a single parent home is the GD president of the United States. I don't like his policies, but it's pretty damn awesome that we can have that happen in our nation.

To me the rule is racist because it implies that minorities should be held to lower standards because they aren't as capable.

Orwell also describes crimestop from the perspective of Emmanuel Goldstein in the book The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism:

“ Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.

White people are so despicable. First we do unspeakable acts for hundred of years, then we flip the script in the most opposite sense imaginable. Can't we be content with just mellowing out in the middle somewhere?


I am becoming so weary of all of this constant garbage.

So, no small talk?

quote:

– Uttering the phrase “There is only one race, the human race.”

– Saying that you think America is a melting pot and that when you look at someone you don’t see race.

– Believing that the most qualified person, regardless of race, should get the job.

– Thinking that every person, regardless of race, can succeed in society if they work hard enough.



So actively not being a racist is actually being racist?

quote:

– Mistaking a person of color for a staff member when you’re in a store.


So if I'm in a store where both customers and staff members are dressed similarly, I'm supposed to avoid the black person? Is that not encouraging racist behavior?

1984 is required reading. Log off, go read, and don't come back until you've at least been exposed to the idea that we could all totally be fricked.

Before long, dating black chicks will probably be considered racist on some sort of primal fetish argument.
