Students at Manchester University have demanded that the
word “black” when used as a negative expression such as the
word “blackmail” should be banned because it is
“divisive.”
Yes, really.
The complaint was prompted by a university study surround issues
affecting Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and
faculty.
Citing concerns of black people, the report noted that there
were “linguistic concerns about Black being associated with
negative expressions” such as “blackmail” and “black
sheep.”
After the report labeled the use of words which included
“black” and “divisive and not inclusive,” the
university’s student union demanded that “any other use of the
word ‘black’ as an adjective to express negative
connotations” should be banned in research papers, lecture
slides, and books published by professors.
Students claimed that such words were based on a “colonial
history” and should be abolished in light of the Black Lives
Matter movement.
However, Lexicographer Jonathon Green pointed out that such
claims were completely erroneous given that the background
environment of “identity politics” “simply wasn’t there at
the moment of coinage.”
As in America, many students have been indoctrinated to believe
that one of the primary purposes for going to university is to
lobby for speech and words to be banned.
Back in September, Bristol University announced that it would
crack down on “diet culture and fatphobia” language so as not
to offend obese people and those with eating disorder.
