Stanford’s ‘Harmful Language’ List Mocked for ‘Sheer Insanity’
"Social media users have been poking fun at a new list of “harmful language” crafted at Stanford University—which includes supposedly offensive terms like “American,” “brave, and “addicted.”
While many of the phrases on the list, which grew out of an initiative by the Stanford CIO Council and People of Color in Technology, have been widely condemned for being rooted in oppressive history, other terms have raised a few eyebrows and sparked some aggressive online backlash.
Stanford University’s independent newspaper, The Stanford Review, reported Monday that the “Orwellian” Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative is meant to address “harmful language in IT” at the university by providing alternative terms or phrases.
“Ostensibly, the goal is to make people of color and other perceived victims of historical injustice more comfortable as users of Stanford technology,” according to The Stanford Review, which put newly banned words in bold. “A cursory review of the page, however, should be shocking to any normal person for its sheer insanity.”"
