The questions asked in the study are verbatim what are considered microagressions by diversity training and inclusion programs at major public universities

"I don't notice people's race" is considered offensive to the left now?

Been saying this for years.

White lefties are the problem, not minorities

What about American Indians and the Redskins? Not the Elizabeth Warren ones... the other ones. Don't they realize how offensive they are to American Indians. Where are the liberal think police when you need them?

It's almost as if we aren't all offended by the same things.... who could have possibly imagined this?

Assuming this is correct would you be willing to change the way you speak to people to avoid offending ~25% of minorities/immigrants you interact with?

The culture war is being waged by the Cultural Marxists (white progressives), minorities they generally regard with disdain (as the Soviet Communist did before them) but the minorities can be useful allies.

So I guess white privilege is right to be offended by the inoffensive?!

I would have guessed this to be the case.

That make sense.
They probably are also the biggest group of new lawyers.

all that study did is show just how widespread the power of neocolonialism and white privilege is, by making minorities and immigrants truly accept such belittling behavior without question (and near acceptance)

The way she whitesplained to me I figured as much

Also the Cato institute like almost every single other think tank has little to no credibility.

The practice of universities hiring administrators to establish rules and training on diversity and culture, is very much like the way communist parties try to indoctrinate people into thinking the way they "should". Instead of being places that encourage different ideas, our places of higher learning have become fronts for the far left political parties.

i come here every day and see loads of conservatives offended by microaggressions so i'm not sure this study is valid.

There needs to be a listing of Rules For White People, and some sort of notice every time those rules change so we can then act accordingly.
