The University of New Hampshire Released a “Bias-Free Language Guide”
The PC Police have struck again, this time attempting to make the University of New Hampshire a Non-Offensive Zone.
The U of NH released a "Bias-Free Language Guide" to help students avoid offending anyone. How far did they take it?
Obese folks are "people of size". Oh, and "folks" should be referred to as, "guys". The worst? An "American" should be referred to as, "resident of the U.S.".
Seriously, all these attempts to be unoffensive are more offensive than being offensive.
UPDATE: There must have been quite the uproar over this, as the U of NH's page has been blocked. Good grief, what did they expect?
