    Yep. I've been called a racist for saying that we *shouldn't* judge people by race. And for saying FGM is bad. And for saying Brett Weinstein was not being racist. And for saying intersectionality is divisive. And for existing with current levels of melanin.https://twitter.com/StewartCBova/status/928282991545274368 …

    At my old university, "racist" is just a term for anyone against a progressive position.

        I got called a bigot the other day for pointing out, and objecting to the bigotry faced by Ahmadiyya Muslims from the larger Muslim community. What a day

        Yes, any attempt to say that you are, or try to be, colour-blind towards how you view individuals is an instant no-no in those circles.

        Remarkable to think the mark of a modern progressive is to be seen insisting on racism & other prejudices based on identity. Regressive indeed.

        Somewhere down the line, these nutters started believing that screwing over reality would somehow exempt them from the standards and expectations of adulthood.

        I've been called racist for saying that we should judge people not on the color of their skin but rather on the content of their character.

        At my University, "Racist" was term for anyone who hadn't killed a white person that day. And we lived in hole in the middle of the road,

        And for not limiting yourself to 140 characters. Those extra 140 are for disadvantaged/oppressed.

        * Hard work and meritocracy are now tools of white supremacy. * Objective reality is sexist, that's why STEM is rife with sexism. * Rejecting white guilt with even the mildest of reproofs makes you a Nazi white supremacist for whom police involvement is necessary. Miss anything?

        I've watched morbidly obese white girls scream it at people who told them to lose weight. It's losing all meaning.

        It seems that many minds havent matured past Primary school. Its very depressing. Are students not even encouraged to compare and contrast now?
