Stanford University has blacklisted the word “American" and its derivatives along with other "harmful" words.
The so-called university "scientists" believe that this term is "too focused on the USA" and is not sufficiently connected with other countries.
These quirks are not surprising, since the university is acting as part of its Orwellian “Initiative to Eradicate Harmful Language.”
Instead of the word "American", the university promotes another term - “US citizen”, because there are other countries on the American continent. This is real nonsense, because people live on the same continent - North America.
The university has created eight categories of language supervision, the enumeration of which causes rejection in normal people. These are abelists, ageists, culturally adapted, gender-based, inaccurate formulations, institutionalized racism, personality-oriented and violent.
These "linguistic policemen" in Newspeak have chosen replacements for each "offensive" word and phrases that they themselves put into the categories they invented.
In fact, this is the literal embodiment of the novel "1984".
Americans are ironic: don't say “American", but say “US citizen". Don't say “immigrant“, but say “the person who immigrated". Avoid pronouns “he” and “she” if you do not know what gender the interlocutor considers himself to be.
Earlier, Stanford proposed replacing the word “drug addict” with the phrase “a person with a substance abuse disorder,” and the word “Karen” with “demanding or eligible white woman.”
Every few years, some college publishes an absurd manual like the one above. They are widely ridiculed, and one would assume that they are forgotten about.
The list of prohibited words is only getting longer, and the management of various institutions requires the mandatory execution of this nonsense.
In the field of language destruction, the College of Arts in Waltham (Massachusetts) also noted that it banned the use of words and phrases that it considers "cruel" or "racist".
Students of the University of Manchester fell into the same nonsense, demanding to ban the word “black” because it “causes controversy.”
A certain Ibram H. Candy claims that anything that contains the word "black" is racist towards black people.
The term "sex offender" is now also offensive to sex offenders. For the same reason, a pedophile should not be called a "pedophile".
The war with human consciousness and language is taking place not only among students. Google already has a tool for correcting normal words into newspeak. He will fix everything you type if he doesn't like it.
Analysts believe that the purpose of introducing newspeak is to narrow the circle of people's thoughts in order to destroy all other ways of thinking.
As a result, it will come to the point that even thought crime will be impossible, because words capable of expressing it will be eradicated.
