Except he didn't even utter the word.

I know exactly what word he used, and in Chinese all it means is “that.” Like “that thing” or “that person.” It’s used literally as “um” in colloquial Chinese.

This USC Professor is on leave after students were offended that a Chinese word he used during a lecture on foreign languages sounded like an english racial slur.


On Tuesday evening, the USC Marshall School of Business provided Campus Reform with a statement, confirming that Patton is no longer teaching his course.

“Recently, a USC faculty member during class used a Chinese word that sounds similar to a racial slur in English. We acknowledge the historical, cultural and harmful impact of racist language,” the statement read.

Patton “agreed to take a short term pause while we are reviewing to better understand the situation and to take any appropriate next steps.”

The school is now offering "supportive measures" to students who were hurt by the Professor's language… LINK

Those students must be absolutely catatonic after listening to hip hop on their iphones.

I laughed a lot when I was in China. It sounded like they were throwin the n-word in every sentence. I already knew that it was their "um," but I still laughed every time I heard it.

So, that means it is used like a comma. Pretty much like the other word.

This is like when ESPN torpedoed the career of an Asian broadcaster for the unspeakable crime of being named “Robert Lee”.

I watch a ton of rugby and in Australia and New Zealand when they are referring to a small skirmish or scrap that happens on the field they call it “niggling”

Pretty sure the original term came from the Dutch word for black, neger.
