British University bans all offensive words and phrases

[antijoke]

Hahahaha, reading that is hilarious.

Gave me a good chuckle.

It adds: ‘If the gender of the person is unknown, don’t make an assumption, but use “he or she” or, where appropriate, use the plural “they”.

‘Sexuality can be a minefield too, according to the policy, which advises against the terms ‘homosexual’ and ‘heterosexual’ because they are ‘laden with the values of a previous time’.

Why does Policeman get a free pass yet fireman doesn't? Should they not be called Policers?

 

[Efour]

People of police is the PC term

Lol or oinkers I make myself laugh

 

[Yaayuh!]

Other than rile up dailymail readers, does they really affect our lives?

It's funny to watch though, in a sad way.

UK 2017...

Looks like a style guide for copy or correspondence. Just the DM is blowing it up as part of its regular PoliticalCorectnessGOneMAD!!!!! angle

In which instance, it's not too bad really.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

Jonathan Pies later vid covers this. Hilarious and depressing at the same time.

I find it both funny and ridiculous, but I just don't understand some people's reactions to it.

So glad I finished uni before all this ******** started. I'd have been lynched otherwise.

Actually can you even say lynched anymore?

I work in a university and our students, when they go to classroom work, aren't allowed to say black board - has to be chalk board. Not allowed to sing baa baa black sheep, has to be baa baa little sheep. Things have gone badly PC and ridiculous.

Why would uni students sing nursery rhymes?

teacher training university, when they are in schools getting experience

 

[StriderX]

Don't worry the last laugh is on all the conservative/neo-liberal people with 50% of the planets wealth locked up, while all these university graduates will be lucky to feed themselves out of a garbage bag come mid-century, because they believe quiet disillusionment and protesting is going to free them of the economic slavery that befalls them.

I see, gender and colour neutral terms are simply the norm now. People can't be offended for things that don't exist.
