I don't know. I'm trying to reference that concept to transgender. So Caitlyn is now honing to paint pictures of rape?

Don't forget the "archetypal memory" of being burnt at the stake for being a witch.

'Izaiah always was her favorite child,' another brother, Ezra, told the Post. 'She turned Izaiah kind of racist. Told Izaiah all this stuff about white people, made him really racist toward white people.'

Rodin​'s "The Thinker" must be doing a face palm.

One of the initiatives of the President of the University of California system, former DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, is to ensure that no student or university employee is insulted by "microaggressions" - terms which subconsciously have racist, sexist, or other kinds of statements with biased sub-context. Or, to put it another way, the University of California is now a proponent of political correctness gone mad.

Napolitano initiated a program where officials were taught not to use phrases such as:
•“America is the land of opportunity" (apparently the statement “asserts that race and gender do not play a role in life successes"),
•“There is only one race, the human race'" (this denies the "significance of a person of color’s racial/ethnic experience and history")
•“I believe the most qualified person should get the job," (meaning: "People of color are given extra unfair benefits because of their race.)."

"I told Harvard I was an undocumented immigrant," Dario Guerrero bragged in The Washington Post last fall. "They gave me a full scholarship."

In the 1990s, top-tier schools introduced a "diversity essay" requirement for undergrad admissions. The online "Common Application" used by hundreds of colleges and universities directs prospective students to "describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you."

More recently, the University of California at Berkeley mandated that all graduate school hopefuls supply a "personal history statement" with "information on how you have overcome barriers to access opportunities in higher education."

And that's not enough. Applicants for every U.C. Berkeley graduate program must provide "evidence of how you have come to understand the barriers faced by others, evidence of your academic service to advance equitable access to higher education for women, racial minorities and individuals from other groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education, evidence of your research focusing on underserved populations or related issues of inequality, or evidence of your leadership among such groups."

quote:

Administrators want members of campus to avoid the use of racist and sexist statements, though their notions about what kinds of statements qualify are completely bonkers. “America is a melting pot,” “Why are you so quiet?” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job,” are all phrases that should raise red flags, according to the UC speech police.

Requests for faculty to quit perpetrating these teensiest of microaggressions are thankfully just that—requests—although the fact that they come straight from the desk of UC President Janet Napolitano lends them some muscle. On January 5, Napolitano dispatched letters to UC deans and department chairs inviting them to attend seminars “to foster informed conversation about the best way to build and nurture a productive academic climate.” That’s bureaucrat-speak for learn to keep your mouths shut.

BOSTON (AP) -- The Museum of Fine Arts Boston is canceling "Kimono Wednesdays" after protesters decried the event as racist. In a Tuesday statement, the museum apologized for offending some visitors with the event, where museum goers were encouraged to don the traditional Japanese garments and pose in front of Claude Monet's "La Japonaise."

The museum said it had hoped to create an "interactive experience," helping museum goers appreciate the rich details, embroidery and fine materials of the garments. It said similar events took place when the painting, depicting a woman in a kimono, traveled throughout Japan for an exhibition. But protesters have held signs at the Boston museum's events, calling them "racist" and "imperialist." ~Source

Tip: If you ever use the Daily Mail as a news source - which I'd never advise, for reasons stated ad nauseam here - you can *sometimes* find the truth buried a long way down in the story. Here it is, from your link:

"While a sheep 'won't get the nuances' of swear words 'what they will be getting is the threat inherent in the way it is used'.

'I believe they absolutely can comprehend emotion. If someone is hurling abuse at them they can instil fear in the animal,' she told ABC News.

'There are ways of working with animals that don't require screaming, shouting and beating.'"

It's okay to curse at people though, right?
