First it was systemic racism, now we've moved on to linguistic racism

Michigan State University recently highlighted linguistics professor Peter De Costa’s study about “linguistic racism.” 

To explain the concept, De Costa cited the phrase “Wuhan virus” as an example.

  1. They're right. It's actually "Kungflu". Fuque these people always looking to police the thoughts and speech of everyone but themselves.

  2. HAHAHAHAHA!
    I've got a new idea...
    Give the commies _everything_ they want. In fact, give them MORE than they ask for. Give it to them good, hard and long. Fuck them with their own ideas. It's an old rhetoric technique called the "reduction to absurdity." It WILL NOT work to elevate their thinking, they are far too damned stupid and maladjusted at this point to help them, but it will at lest get this shit over with quicker.
    For instance:
    When they demand $16/hour minimum, DEMAND $72/hour, and pretend to be pissed off about it. Be angry, angry, angry. If they protest, start screaming about a "living wage," and "systematic racism producing income inequality." Maybe toss in some other bullshit catch-phrases just to [further] confuse them.
    Or in this case, identify _all_ language as racism. When they start to protest, let them finish, look at them with utter disdain and a little shock. Then and mutter "you are a racist." You don't NEED rational or reason. Ask them if talking about racism is racist.
    Back to the proverbial frog in a pot, let's make sure the heat goes us fast enough the frog (that would be "us") figures out what is going on BEFORE they are loading boxcars.

    1. That's one weakness the Left has - because it doesn't police its own crazies, you can always outflank them to the Left, as you indicated.

      When some diversity screams about cultural appropriation: "Hey! You've culturally appropriated English! A language based on white supremacy and imperialism!" Attack their clothing as decadent and Western - more racism and imperialism, and point out that they are either stupid and fell for it, or have adopted it and are now advocating it.

      "If it saves even one life!" is another fun argument...

    2. ...or just keep repeating "crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their woman" until they get it. ;^))

  3. If they speak Standard English like everyone else, there would be no linguistic racism. Its their choice to join us or to be unacceptable

  4. The next problem will be that scum like this with their own racism will flourish and be unassailable in the Brave New World order we're being dragged into.

  6. My parents came from China, and I endorse "Wuhan Flu" and "China Flu". Just like we have "German measles" and "Marburg virus". There is nothing racist about naming a disease after its origin. This has well-established precedent in medical history.

    As an American descendant of Chinese immigrants, I have moral precedence over your white (or whitish) liberal guilt, Professor De Costa. How DARE you presume to be offended on my behalf! If I had a problem with "Wuhan Flu" I'd speak up. I'm perfectly capable of expressing myself. Your white (or whitish) knighting is highly offensive and RACIST. By failing to consult with me over an issue that potentially concerns me (and not some beige person called "De Costa") you are treating me like a child or an idiot. Do you always presume to speak up for your "little yellow brothers"?

    Screw your arrogant racism, and screw you, Professor De Costa.

  7. Yes I know.
    In Germany we called them first Gypsies.
    But that was racist, so we had to call them Sinti and Roma (the two biggest tribes among gypsies. Never mind that some of them wanted to be called gypsies, we had to call them Sinti and Roma. And not forget, there are some small tribes who call themselves NOT Sinti or Roma and who were pissed, why we didnt include the name of their tribes.(Yes, it would have ended like the 54.378 different genders))
    And now we have to call them Mobile ethnische Minderheit Mobile ethnic minority.
    I wonder how we will be forced to name them in future.

    Thank you for helping me with the continuation of
    Racism turned into white privilege turned into microaggressions turned into systemic racism turned into linguistic racism
    wonder whats next?
