The systems were more widely used during the pandemic, when students were encouraged to report on classmates for not wearing masks, said Cherise Trump, executive director of Speech First. The pandemic also coincided with a spike in hate crimes.
At Stanford, students can report a “Protected Identity Harm Incident,” which is defined as conduct targeting an individual or group on the basis of characteristics including race or sexual orientation. The system is meant to “build and maintain a better, safer, and more respectful campus community,” according to the school’s website.
Senior Christian Sanchez, executive vice president of the Associated Students of Stanford University, the student-government group, said the system is necessary and important. Mr. Sanchez, who describes himself as Chicano, said he has bristled in the past when another student has addressed him as “G,” short for gangster.
He has let it roll off his back, he said, but less thick-skinned students should have a path for redress.
“People need to be aware of what they’re saying and who they’re saying it to,” Mr. Sanchez said. “There are a lot of instances of stereotyping, and people should have a resource to report it if they want to.”
I looked up the Comp Lit guy talking about McCarthyism here, and he's 1) a fellow at the Hoover Institute and 2) was a part of a commission created by Pompeo to find a reason why LGBT rights aren't human rights. So in summary, never trust Ivy League humanities professors.
The guy who wrote the bush torture memos is a Stanford professor iirc
Edit: Berkeley lol
I like how it probably took you all of 30 seconds to find all that on Google. They never have to hide who the ghouls are in these articles because libs never even think to do their own research
i used to know a guy who basically told on himself. the story started off as him complaining about how the community college he had been going to for like 12 years (still no AA) was trying to "kick" him out because it had woke police. after like 30 seconds of asking questions, it turns out he had fucked up some kind of administrative process (understandable) and absolutely tee'd off on some low level functionary via an email absolutely riddled with slurs (less understandable). like one of those enraged rants alleging conspiracy and calling the completely unknown reader the F slur multiple times and riddled with profanity and even some vague threats of violence.
so later he gets an email to talk to a higher level administrator that starts by asking him if he's "ok" or needs help. of course the guy is like, "what are you talking about, i'm fine" so it gets into a conversation about professionalism in emails and how threats of violence or slurs won't be tolerated and tries to connect him to mental health resources. and that's how he knew the school was "going woke".
i knew this guy in high school and this happened about 20 years later, 15 years after we lost touch. i was just listening to his story as he told it to someone else via an informal/spontaneous reunion. and he really thought he was the aggrieved party for being summoned to an administrator's office and having his mental health questioned.
and having his mental health questioned
Jesus christ, that's like the most generous way they could have handled it, too.
These assholes don't get that the non-"woke" response in that situation is just punishment.
i know, right. i'm pretty non confrontational in person (i.e. a coward), but even i was like, "you can't just explode on people at their low-paying job, call them a bunch of slurs, threaten violence, and not expect some kind of consequence, man."
it's probably not a consolation, but the guy's life is an ongoing and multi-faceted disaster because he brings this level of introspection and critical analysis to all of his life's decisions and since capitalism is all about taking advantage of these people instead of educating them and assisting them, i don't really see it getting any better. in the end, he admitted that he was in the wrong, but it was a bridge too far to recognize that the mental health services should be looked into.
honestly, the guy is a case study for political underdevelopment in the US. he has been screwed over very hard by every employer and every landlord so deeply and he hates them and "The System" very much, but seems more interested in drawing attention to the "woke" phenomenon of the next GTA game having a woman protagonist. all that class tension is wound up and set loose on the wrong people.
you can’t just explode on people at their low-paying job, call them a bunch of slurs, threaten violence, and not expect some kind of consequence, man
you kind of can but not at a university
A case filed against Oklahoma State University by Speech First this year lists three students as plaintiffs. The students don’t believe abortion, same-sex marriage or affirmative action should be practiced and believe Black Lives Matter is corrosive to race relations in the country, according to their complaint. All three said they wouldn’t discuss their views publicly on campus for fear of being reported to the school’s bias-response team for harassing students who disagree with them.
It's really that easy to shut these dorks up. Such total pissbabies.
Nothing like cowards using the first amendment as a wall to duck behind.
More and more chuds are adopting the Jordan Peterson strategy of crying literally all the fucking time, and it's making the left nervous.
:up-yours-woke-moralists:

They'll be able to make me uncomfortable when I spew my wide-spectrum of bigoted hate speech!

Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views
Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?
Con: LOL no...no not those views
Me: So....deregulation?
Con: Haha no not those views either
Me: Which views, exactly?
Con: Oh, you know the ones

:jesse-wtf: i have never heard anyone call someone a G in a derogatory manner. Not only that, I’ve never heard anyone who’s not an old ass man from the hood refer to someone as a G because he thinks they’re a gangster. It’s just a term of endearment
Idk, I'd think it was weird if a white peer called a Chicano one G
I’d also be weirded out if a white person called me a G, but maybe that’s just an Ivy League thing because I don’t know any white guys who would say that
I'm a white guy in a profoundly fashy city, so I'd assume they were pulling a variant of "sarcastically referring to a Black person as 'homie'"
this, you're basically calling people hoodlums. if they're studying at college, especially at an ivy league college, they would understandably feel offended.
How many hoodlums have started wars? Now how many Ivy Leaguers?
yeah i mean, my post is not judging the moral quality of either, god knows harvard is the pit of hell where the spawn of satan emerges from. but the implication of a white preppie calling you a "homie" or a "G" is that you don't belong, that your presence is an exception, and that they're going to try to make you feel as unwelcome as they can get away with. like the tame version of someone telling you to "go back to your people".
William the conqueror was arguably essentially a gangster so was Christopher columbus, quite a lot of wars were started by people who were basically gangsters
They didn't live in cities and rob convenience stores, they had armies and shit.
No white people I know call each other that, so it would seem racially pointed
I am white and call friends of any race G sometimes
canceled smh
I'd stop thinking it was weird once I realized they were friends, so consider yourself lucky. You're not canceled
Yet.
If you only called hispanic people G it would be weird which is I think what happened here from context
I believe you, however at least in in my experience of the specific places I have lived, it's been pretty common occurrence. I hear it used pretty much regardless of racial lines
i have never heard anyone call someone a G in a derogatory manner.
it's a stereotypical way in which caricaturized TV chicanos address each other, so depending on the context, they're driving the comparison to ridiculous TV stereotypes which would be a bit insulting. it's like repeating lines from the simpson's apu at people from india. sometimes i'm so glad i don't have to live in the states lol.
I’ve never heard anyone who’s not an old ass man from the hood refer to someone as a G because he thinks they’re a gangster
i'm speculating here, but likely it's precisely because it's so prevalent on TV it's grown a bit ridiculous and left the chicano vernacular
We can't ignore the possibility that this guy just woke up from a 30 year long coma.
There are a lot of profs who have not thought a new thought since the 80s
