Orwell was a socialist who who fought in the Spanish Civil War against fascists. He isn't your friend.

Nah…; he was a trotskyist, trotskyism is one of the most culturally liberal branches of marxism. And Eric literally risked his life in Spain to fight against fascism, conservatism, White supremacy, Christian extremism, nationalism, capitalism, and racism.

Which is funny in both cases because when talking about the light spectrum white is the presence of all colour while black is the absence of colour

But also black people are black because the presence of pigments and White one because of abcence or however u write that

The term 'people of color' was coined by racists though, aim was to draw the asians (mostly) and latinos (if we gotta) in the 'our' group to get more support against the 'white enemy'.

That's just among unhinged liberal idiots, usually white people pretending to be talking for black people. But I will say, simply being called "Yo white guy!" Would be annoying. Can't speak of how much more or less annoying than some one black being called, "Yo black guy!" It's somewhat disrespectful, though can be understandable if someone is trying to call for you, and your skin color is the most notably different feature about you then the rest of the guys around you. Preferably, most people would like to be called by their name, especially if you know their name. Yet, even there, some people don't even like their name. So maybe for some, "Yo black dude!" would be preferable than, say, being called Peewee, because that's what your parents named you after because they liked Peewee's Playhouse, and named you before the whole getting caught wanking it in a porn theater incident.

'white' people are the true people of color. We turn red when embarrassed, brown/bronze when suntanned, green or yellow when sick, we turn grey or ashen when dead, lol

Nope. It's because some minorities are majorities in certain parts of the country.

@@TheWoollyFrogthis is the real answer

billionaires are minorities, i think theyre doing just fine. plus there are cases where the majority may be the suppressed group, like in countries who are being colonized

​​@@TheWoollyFrog First of all, if they're the majority then they're not minorities. I know what you're trying to say but it sounds ridiculous. Second, there's plenty communities where minorities like African Americans or Asian Americans are better off than the majority demographic so the idea they're all "equity deserving" is also ridiculous. The term "equity deserving" can apply to minorities or the majority depending on the area. It's a stupid term and anyone who uses it should be shamed for their stupidity 😂

It's because since lots of the groups aren't minorities anymore they lost that excuse for victimhood and being awful. Also funny since lots aren't minorities its why our cities are turning to shit in Canada.

While I make fun of some phrases elsewhere in the comments, some of these things make sense. As far as I understand it's the offical policy of Canada to encourage immigration, preferably legal, but illegal is tolerated. It such an environment discussing anyone's legal status must be a taboo. Now if only your goverment could fix the housing it might even be worth immigrating to Canada.

I'll live in US, and always legally. But being called "alien" feels very weird. alien == non-human (as a non-native English speaker) Martians and Klingons are aliens

Well said, this post needs to be pinned for all to read.

There's been a lot of stigma around the term 'Illegal alien' - the term in itself is a bit harsh and dehumanizing. I wonder why something else like 'Undocumented foreigner' has never been used.

Equity and equality don't mean the same thing. I agree with op though

This is on purpose; the philosophy behind this treats everything as part of one big power dynamic, so by doing little things like capitalizing certain races (which are “historically oppressed”) while leaving others (the “historical oppressors”) lowercase, in order to subtly erode their supposed power, until eventually they’re reduced to an out-group that can be removed.

"equity deserving group" would mean a disadvantaged group that require an extra help from the authorities, I'm pretty sure not all groups deserve equity, however "minority" and "equity deserving group" have 2 very different meanings, asking to replace one by the other is actively pushing an agenda. For example, the 1% richest people are a minority, but I'm pretty sure most of them don't require equity, they already have it (badum tsss... explanation of the joke: equity in finance it's pretty much all the wealth that is not cash, like stocks or real estate).

In Australia, in the 80s Greek and Italian immigrants claimed the term “Wog” In the early 2000s another comedian reclaimed “Chocco” for other ethnics. These people would lis their minds

Apparently the loser's defence of this practice is that minorities using "racist" terms is "perpetuating racism"

It's the same everywhere but.. even here, in Serbia, where there really aren't black people (really, you might see a black person maybe like , once in a few days if you're really going through the city to malls and walking on busy street, so really rarely but nobody really gives a f****) but there are Gypsies.. Who have always called themselves Gypsies but I've witnessed it evolving into an offensive word and being replaced by "Ŕoma" people. But when I say "Roma" , a Roma person would freak out and say that he is a Gypsy and not to call him that (Roma) but if some politically correct shitlib hears me saying Gipsy, I get corrected and let to know that it's offensive.. Damn, so I literally call one of my closest friends "Gipsy" and he gets offended when using this special "kind" language around him and hates the word "Roma" because he feels that he is being treated with caution and something, you know? So the minority gets offended by the name they force on society to use. They feel racism when hearing that word being used so carefully, they feel taht they stand out and are treated or looked upon different and some ppl get really insulted and I've heard it a thousand times, like "I am a Gypsy, not Roma, we are Gypsies and proud of it.!" So doesn't that forced ussage of terms actuallcontributing to these people obviously being made to stand out l, isn't that racism? When I was a kid, they were called "Roma" if used on tv, or if it's something official, and they have the Roma political party, but not in use outside of official stuff.. and ..... it was all cool.. The newspeak made it stand out more.. Also, for an Albanian, we use he word "Šiptar" and it is very offensive, you can get a lot of flak for using that word, but bro.. just look how they call their own country and nation.. Yeah .. yoh guessed it.. in Albanian it's he word they use to describe themselves... Wokeness and living in Berlin for years made me see where I am at. Because I travelled around, wandered. Took up factory jobs just to kinde meet people , the mentality and see other countries from within, not as a tourist.. And I realized that I really like and enjoy my home country.. but it is becoming what I escaped.. (meaning Berlin) and so, the only place I felt the right vibe, has strenght, people have integrity, see these things from afar and say "no thanks" is for me, Russia, where I spent a year working .. and btw, as my gf is trans, we have visited and seen many places in Russia, never had a problem because of her and you know why? They don't care and don't want to know.. they just don't care if you sck d/$k or eat pssy.. they don't want tk know bcs it's your personal thing and if you keep it that way, you'll have no problem whatsoever.. If you were to harass and assault people to use some pronouns and demand respect because you put a dress on, you're getting smacked in the face. And I agree, respect is earned, not forced upon people ... So you realize that ... People, trust me on this one, the West is a dictatorship... call it democracy but what were you asked about and was your opinion heard ever on anything? On any war or some other money launderibg scheme or the censorship . .. no. That's why you don't even know that the NSA took over the internet , literally overnight WHat I experienced j Russia, still the freedom and safety, due to collective rejection of wokeness, made me, the, a 33 year old guy, a cknstruction worker now, to enroll into University, Slavic Studies, so I learn Slavistics .. I have much Russian, Ukrainian, Ruthenian lang. (already know Slovak, Czech alongside Hungarian and German) So seeing it coming to Serbia made me study Russian so I can go when it's time. Also, their methods and speech made me research propaganda and I want to do my Master's in Communicology. That's a nice word for propaganda .. anyway, , like the NSA since today controls the internet in the US, I'm gonna watch how worse it gets now, I've just listened to the new CEO of NPR and it's so crazy. She literally said that journalists often go digging for the truth but that's not what they should be focused on, said that misinformation is a problem and we have to turn to the government to help us determine what's true and what's false, she said that currently, the biggest obstacle for "us" is the 1st ammendment. So, they also don't use the word "censor"when referring to themselves (because it's just doublespeak, becajse Putin censors and every "New Htlr" they have on their sight (except for Israel, they get a pass (like you wouldn't charge the owner of a Café you work in) There is just one more thing I'll add, very important .. I got licked out of my FB account for spreading hateful content by a "dangerous individual" . Namely I posted a investigative journalism piece by Kit Klerenberg about factual evidence he found involvement of the CIA in creating IsIs. How were weapons were channeled through Libya to the Islamic state after they wrecked Lybia for wanting to move oil away from the Dollar and Euro and I've seen it, like, Isis with tg44 rifles which my dad had as a Yugoslav paratrooper, whjch we took from the nzis and later gave it to Libya.. So Kit, after this piece, an investigative journalist, for presenting facts , was deemed a" dangerous person" and if you spread some of his reporting you are engaged in hate crime.. So FB is helping a terrorist organization by doing this. It is all in the open qnd people see it but the whole thing is so just made up that it is a perfect mechanism. You raise a real issue and get called "conspiracy theorist" and "nut", and they don't have to do much, the system an culture does it by themselves. Trust me, Russia is more free than you think but they have different views on things which is cool if you adapt to the culture you come into instead of vice versa. Peace out

My friend it is up to you to get us out of this mess, only you have the power to say what you want, you are right, they cannot criticise you for using any word you wish to describe yourself. They can try but it's not going to work. If all minorities (sorry EDGs😂) rose up and said "Enough! We are sick of being treated like overly-sensitive invalids", it would all end.

Exactly. In the case of the transatlantic slave trade, the enslaver would be African. Guess they didn't think about that!

But Metatron also used this word for SLAVs adn directly calls it descriptive instead. It's not descriptive, Slavic Rus established a civic state to escape being called "just a gas station" and things like that, JUST forced labor. TWO WORDS that actualy descirbe your "slavery" without using racism. Karel Čapek was a Czech writer who also invented ONE word for forced labor, "robota". The word "slav" comes from defining a people MEANT to be treated like robots, and thanks to having the word robot, we could just call robotic things robotic and human beings human. USA can't even call "Americans" a continental demonym, or Asians, their current Apple-Amazon forced labor, as anything by a race, of lesser humans. The big talking point is if AI art will take the jobs, that previously would be forced on cheap asian labor like animation. Because Japanese people whose intelligence USA calls artificial, already HAD a robot uprising in making their own "anime" and started resembling humans in US view. The Ghost in the Shell.

Generally the people "offended" by this use of language are affluent white people who have never experienced any hardship, but want to be viewed as heroes. The rest are in for the extra privileges being a "equity deserving person" brings them or a misguided useful idiocy.

Let us not be like them, learn from their mistakes, and support eachother as the brothers and sisters we are. God bless us and ours.

You are for sure an international person, unless you come from Canada, I suppose...

World Citizens are a thing.

A man of culture here. “Be yourself no matter what they say” 🎶

😂🤣

but modesty, propriety, can lead to notoriety and you can end up as the only one

That's nearly the population of Canada... Atleast the Universirty of Waterloo is doing their part to end this modern horror, so progressive!

Thank goodness they are only People Currently Experiencing a State of Involuntary Non-Self Ownership. That seems like an administrative problem for which their local office surely has a form. I was worried they might actually be slaves!

@@Free_Krazy The number breakdown is more like this. Around 10 million slaves in Africa from generational slave families, including the same ones that were sold to the Americas. Around 20 million in forced labor and indentured service around the world Around 20 million of women in forced marriage, which the UN now also call slaves. Meanwhile, we best not say anything offensive.

Is it the U of W's responsibility to free those slaves? No. How would they? Is it their responsibility to have a welcoming and respectful environment at their school for everyone who attends? Yes.

@@junkandcrapamen No. The responsibility of any university or college is to challenge people and make people able to think for themselves so they can go and potentially improve the world in their field of work. If they want to enact social justice, they should do it for real instead of virtue signalling with shitty fucking words that don't matter in the slightest in any environment outside their reach. They should teach about the real inequalities that still exist and challenge their students to come with solutions on how to fix it.

If they are white, men, straight and atheist or christian, yes.

Waterloo University graduates are equity deserving.

woah buddy, you're not supposed to say that part out loud.

'oppressors' in the minds of the people that like to use democracy to gain power, and then subvert democracy so only they have power

Ethnic-replacement-deserving-group.

This should work well for our American friends: "a minority of voters voted for Donald Trump" becomes "an equity-deserving group of voters voted for Donald Trump"!

This has similar energy of life is bitter, soap is bitter life is soap.

Love.

I always tell them, "Well if you think it is their land, then give it back to them!" If I took over my neighbor George Brown's house, do you think he would be satisfied if I trotted around saying, "I am living in the traditional house of George Brown"? I think he wouldn't be happy until he got his house back.

Omg! Seriously? They don't realize everyone came here from somewhere else?

Wow. Canada is hard-core. Are there really people up there that are actively participating in colonization? I mean, I know that it's still happening, but it usually isn't white people doing it now. That's interesting.

Every day in school, little children are hearing those same 'land acknowledgements' before class begins and before any assembly. I refuse to stand up while they go through these rituals.

The introduction also includes description of clothes worn, hair colour etc on behalf of the blind. My bad, People without Vision.

Hmm, that still puts Robot 1 in prime position and Robot 2 ... wait, isn't that an equity deserving robot?

This also happened to software engineering

@@ra13579_ And electronics. I rather liked the term "master-slave" for the controlling and the controlled transistor circuits. Very descriptive and not at all offensive IMHO.

in my work we use the word master and slave for communication with some network protocols. what is funny is that the smae robot, API , etc.. can be slave with one item and master with another item....

I call bullshit on this story. Nobody forced y'all to change a damn thing

I must mention this to The Oriental Museum in Durham which has, until now, been showing things of beauty from the Orient unaware of it's own extreme prejudice.

You’re right. Anglophone hand-wringing over the word “oriental” and its variants is largely thanks to Said’s book.

But the gates of hell shall not prevail against it!

As a counterpart to "orientale" and "orientalist" there is "occidentale" and "occidentalist"; all words are non-racist - and would you all please be quiet from now on 😮😊

Just like religion. Painted as a good thing but it’s about lies, control, and money.

​@@Error_404_Account_Deleted, In today's world view of Christianity, I agree ..

it is allowable racism n influences a focus on Our most obvious differences, what we look like. but it gives the guvs what they want, the divide n conquer that eventually conquers Our Humanity.

If we can't laugh about this stuff we're doomed

😁

A new racial descriptor "lightly roasted" 😂 And when you have a tan, it's 'full roast' status

Yeah as a mexican, I was told my great grandpa was a mulato, however for you and me that word has a different connotation because some dudes in some places used that as a derogatory term and now they ruined the party for everyone else.

Bro...thats awesome.I am Sicilian who lived in Florida since Kindergarten. We went to Tyndall FAB Elementary school. We all grew up together..all races..nothing is more diverse than the military

People tend to not research and just take the videos they watch as fact, including the guy who made this video.

an university shouldn't even think of instituting such "guidelines" in the first place, that's the problem.

@@AtrolinK that's stupid

Yep, I'm right there with you, there are times when I slip and say "Oriental" when speaking of someone of Asian heritage and it's not meant to be a slur at all. Chances are good that I"m forgetting the word "Asian" (pain medications and neuro problems make word recall a bit wonky) and just have to revert to the word that I'm remembering.

@@charlayned - The term 'Asian' is quite offensive to many of the people it can be applied to. Try telling someone from China and another from Pakistan that they are both Asian and watch them both insist they are not the same as the other group.

I'm old enough to remember the birth of Political Correctness in the late 70s early 80s. Political correctness just referred to personal social interactions where a person, typically a white person would say something that was innocent to a black person, but could be taken the wrong way. For example, I recall making a joke to a group of people about me being the token man at an all female event. However, there was a black woman in the group I was talking to. After I said it, I cringed,....because "token" was often referred to black people. That was all Political Correctness was at the time. Social engineering to control speech in personal conversations. Now, it's controlling all of society, but the principles are the same.

Its exactly as you say, people change a few words and then feel good about themselves instead of taking any actual action to improve outcomes for the people they supposedly care about. If you call them out on this hypocrisy, they call you names and throw a fit.

@@tashatsu_vachel4477 Thats missing the point. They are both Asian just like both me and people from Serbia are European. That doesnt mean we are the same, just that we live on the same continent geographically.

'Academic pollution' perfect term! I picture a book falling right in the toilet 🤣

Also, I second your suggestion. That would be amazing if Metatron would do a piece on universities.

Don't worry, you aren't alone. It's happening in all Western countries. Somebody clearly doesn't like western peoples, nor reality or facts lol

Exact same occurring in the US.

Society too.

@JesusFriedChrist people tolerate the dumbest stuff in the name of "good adornment"

the canadian guv is trying to cause the same racial division in Canada tht gets So pushed in America. there is even a blk caucus in the ontario ndippy party. the website had thew mission statement tht read, we will focus on issues relating to the blk community........evryone pays them, but they get to only work for the ones tht look like thm........ the guv fully knows about politics being segregated in ontario n no-one is doing anything about it. if Our politics r segregated, then so should Our taxes be.

Then maybe people should start getting involved in politics and vote different. Instead of whining about it go out and do some outreach and talk with people. Complaining about something without taking action is a bit annoying. It's a victim type complex.

@@ch-yq5yn sounds like you're fond of being labeled a nazi by the CBC, losing your job, bank account and credit, and sleeping in a tent

Do you know what the origin of "third world" was? It had absolutely nothing to do with a nation's wealth.

And we really prefer to be called "undeveloped" or "third world" by the international communities as it is the indirect way to criticize our government. It's like, please call us undeveloped, to put the shame onto our incompetent gov, and also to some people in our country to wake up from their day dreams.

It's probably that they think undeveloped=stupid

Undeveloped = corruption. See Haiti vs Dominican Republic or Yemen vs Oman.

But that would imply that some of the wonderful people from those undeveloped countries who come to enrich our culture in the west might not be the best fit to live in the same society as us and that would imply other things that these woke people at universities do not want to think about. Same reason they want to ban police from noting suspects ethnicities in police reports, imagine what would happen if statistics about that came out! No, quickly just ban every word that can refer to foreigners in a negative context and hide all the data!

the barbary pirate slave raids on southern England and on US shipping which eventually resulting in the US marines being sent in - 'to the shores of Tripoli'

I had the same response. Some of these are odd to see, e.g. I haven’t seen “mulatto” in print since the 1970s; but this one is just bizarre. “Minority” doesn’t have any stigma associated with it, and is most often used by the mainstream left. What, exactly, are they trying to combat here?

Is this university Woke?😮

​@@holyfool343 They are pushing their political ideology, that minorities deserve equity. If Justin gets caught murdering someone, they'll replace "murderer" with "freedom deserving individual". It has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with their agenda. Pray for Canada. 🙏🏼

"Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"

@@whatrubbishthishandle No, extremists.

Yep, we should not call Caucasians white people, but "The enslavers"

Racism.

To refer to European descended peoples as "white" in lowercase serves to undermine a distinct identity to Whites and facilitate an inferior view of their culture in lieu of their demographic replacement. In other words to call European peoples "white" is to lay the groundwork for their genocide.

I agree, it should be either "Black" and "White" or "black" and "white." Upper-case "White" looks kinda racist to me, so that settles it -- in my opinion it's got to be "black" and "white."

Yeah, at first I was just thinking "oh well the 'multiracial' part is lowercase too and then every point after is capitalized..." But the lack of care and attention to detail is so convenient, it either paints the creators as racist or incompetent.

Pretty Much. 😅

no no father has long been replaced by child support provider aka wallet

I am not attacking diversity/inclusivity concepts entirely, but trans men are men without the potential to create sperm, so no. "Father" will never be changed to "sperm donor". Trust me. lol

@@rhetorical1488 I prefer cash supplier though, two words > one word

Or erased completely due to the term being referred to as a predominantly white male connotation. That seems to be the offense criteria.

That is true both in most parts of Toronto as well as the University of Waterloo campus.

What? But... but why would she just throw away her free "get-out-of-responsiblity" card like that?

I mean not only are they the majority But Canadas native population isn’t white Canada is a Native American country White people are immigrants

@@Flarb1117I mean Most of its population not only isn’t white As a Native American I don’t know how to tell you this The majority of people in Canada were only white for a span of maybe 125 years And white peolle are immigrants Canada isn’t a white country

Yes we are now a minority in the country we founded. There is a lot of anger within white Canadians over our government's betrayal, as any peoples would feel. There was no need for this demographic change unless there was a very sinister plan as seems to be the case.

You know, that came into my mind too when it was mentioned. I was trying to figure out how Sting would re-word that and keep it musical. 😅😂 hahaha

Illegal Alien Genesis. Will that song be banned? Is it offensive? 😅

nowadays this is probably a racist song...alongside "In The Ghetto" by Elvis (other people in the comment section have stated have refered to the later song well before me)And we will probably see those songs on a list of "problematic songs" that should not be played or talked about rather sooner than later

@@ms.blackcat I don't know, all I know is, 'it's noooo fun, bein an illeguul aleeyuuun' 🎵

I think people are just mad they get called out for being bigoted, but also face consequences by institutions that do not share their bigoted philosophies. Then they ironically make KZfaq videos complaining about it.
