California university system bans use of the word 'field' over "racist connotations"

You must be very young and naive.
Its not the particular issue of one word. Its the fact that they will slowly but inevitably exert control over every domain. You think this is nothing, a non issue, but the day will come when you are at work and you will receive a directive to never use certain words in your area of expertise. Because those words are racist, or oppressive in some way, or whatever. At first you will laugh it off because its just so absurd. Then one day you will hear about some people who were officially reprimanded for doing just that. Humiliated. Then some get cancelled, some get fired. And then you realize its no longer a non issue. Its no longer something which you can pass off as a bad joke. Now you have to constantly watch what you say and write all the time, although those "offensive" words have been part of the lexicon for hundreds of years. Its going to be hard for you because you have spent twenty or so years using those words just as part of your normal everyday work.

Understand this. The people who do this sort of shit do not give one flying fuck about fighting oppression or any notion of justice and equality. They do it purely for their own self promotion and this is a just a tool they use to achieve that goal. They are narcissistic control freaks. And they dont give a fuck about the long term damage, the restriction and censorship of free speech, because that is a matter of supreme indifference to them.

Who gives a shit what the world needs? I care about what I need. Since occasionally wearing a dress to work and insisting that I'm gender-queer means no one dares fuck with me, then that's what I do. Even allegations of racism against me are vulnerable to accusations that such allegations are a cover for their hatred of trannies. As Dave Chappelle has proved, in any fight between niggers and trannies, trannies win.
