   "I wrote a research paper on this exact subject back in 2012. It was basically about how we all need to discriminate and that it's okay to do so citing these exact same scenarios. The professor hated my paper so much she gave me a zero and told me to rewrite the paper in order to get a grade. I refused to and reported her to the lead of the English department.
   Unfortunately I did get a zero because I never redid my work and I have no clue if anything happened as a result of my report. Again, this was back in 2012 during the Obama heydays around the time SJWs were picking up steam and your average normie didn't even have a clue what SJW meant. I was also a straight a student and I think I got a C in this class because most of my research papers were docked points for having Republican opinions. Back then, the world was largely unaware of the foothold that Leftists have in college and most students were only starting to realize that college was no longer about learning reason but more about being a Leftist activist."
   
   Fucked up if true.

     "I had a similar situation about 5 years ago with "micro aggressions." I got in trouble for using an Asian accent because I was quoting Con from King of the Hill. Where Hank says "so are you Chinese or Japanese?" I had to write a paper on micro aggressions because of it. And in my research I discovered that the saying "Takes the cake" as in the winner, is considered racist, because apparently the phrase originated when slaves would have a dancing contest, and the winner would literally get a cake. So the winning slave "takes the cake." I put in my paper that even though it was an interesting story, if you have to get a history in order to get offended by an innocuous saying, you're pretty much looking to get offended. And that even though slavery itself could be deemed racist. Not everything involving racism is inherently racist. This actually seemed like a good thing to me. They had a night where they all got together and danced and had a good time. And the winner even got themselves a cake. I think that should celebrated rather than condemned as racist. Needless to say, they didn't like my paper either.."

     @sim one time a friend at work was pulled aside because he said "gobblygook" talking about something that was illegible. Apparently it's racist and he was given the old
