The University of California system, under former Obama DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, has circulated a flyer that identifies “microaggressions” that are oppressive and stuff.
The flyer, titled “Recognizing Microaggressions and the Messages They Send”, lists a plethora of badspeak and demonstratable badthink that ought to be avoided…
Amongst the more bizarre ones:
“When I look at you, I don’t see color.”
“There is only one race, the human race.”
“I don’t believe in race”
This is considered bad because it erases racial divides and let’s people view others as complex human beings where race is but one of many things that makes up a person, and an unimportant one at that. Of course the Progressive are all about denigrating people by reducing into simply classifications, in order to pit one group against another.
“America is a melting pot.”
This is considered evil because it implies that people who immigrate to the U.S. should assimilate into the culture. Evil? That is good and desirable. But yet again, Progressive like to divide people, in order to destroy society and American culture, in order to replace it with their deluded utopia.
It gets even more crazy:
“America is the land of opportunity.”
It is, or at least it was. But then if there were no opportunity then why are so many people trying to come to America?
“Two options for relationship status: married or single.”
That’s not a relationship status. That is a legal distinction, and one that isn’t a bar to Same-Sex couples in California anymore.
“Labeling an assertive female committee chair/dean as a ‘b____,’ while describing a male counterpart as a ‘forceful leader.'”
A woman can indeed be a b*tch. But that is not the flip-side of a man being called a forceful leader. A woman can be a forceful leader without being a b*tch. If a woman is called a b*tch, then maybe, juuust maybe, she is being a b*tch.
“I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”
Because “social justice” dictates that companies and universities should purposefully try to FAIL? Well, the University of California is certainly trying to do that!
