1. “Baa, Baa Black Sheep” is racist. The nursery rhyme, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is under attack. Some schools and family centers in Scotland, England, and Australia have eliminated the word “black” as racist, and now refer to “rainbow sheep,” “happy sheep,” or “green sheep,” though these new adjectives make no sense at all. Stuart Chamberlain of the Oxford Sure Start Center in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, said, “Basically we have taken the equal-opportunity approach to everything we do.” A local dissenter, however, called it “Stalinist.”
2. M.A.s may be racist, postmasters too. Stephen Davis, master of Pierson College at Yale, says the word “master” in his title is severely upsetting some students and driving them off campus. He wants Pierson and Yale’s eleven other residential colleges to have “heads” rather than “masters.”
3. Liking white meat is racist. Writer Ron Rosenbaum said in Slate that racism accounts for the popularity of white-meat turkey over more flavorful dark meat. “White meat turkey has no taste,” he explained. “Despite its superior taste, dark meat has dark undertones for some. Dark meat seems to summon up ancient fears of contamination and miscegenation as opposed to the supposed superior purity of white meat.”
4. Hoop skirts are racist. After student affairs administrators met with fraternity and sorority leaders, the University of Georgia banned hoop skirts as evocations of the ante bellum South. Writing in the Washington Post, Elizabeth Boyd opined that this decision should go national: While donning a hoop skirt may not constitute a hate crime . . . make no mistake. The Southern belle performances routinely staged on campuses across the South constitute choreography of exclusion . . . young white women serve as signs of nostalgia for a bygone, segregated South and all its attendant privileges.
5. Lunch bags look racist. Elliot Bronstein of the Seattle Office for Civil Rights sent a memo to the public-affairs office banning the term “brown bag” as in brown-bag lunches.
6. Complimenting America as open and fair is racially hurtful. “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” is officially listed as a micro-aggression that the University of California wants eliminated from its classrooms. Also banned are “America is the land of opportunity,” and “America is a melting pot,” because some students may regard those ideas as controversial.
7. Libertarians are racist. In an interview, testy HBO writer-producer David Simon (The Wire, Treme) severely criticized libertarians and suggested that libertarian rhetoric about “freedom” and “liberty” is just code for racism.

8. Climate change advances racism. Best-selling Canadian author Naomi Klein told the Guardian, “You see that in Australia where the treatment of migrants is a profound moral crisis. It’s clear that as sea levels rise this mean streak and open racism is going to become more extreme.”
9. Banning sagging pants is racist. NRO’s Katherine Timpf reported that Henderson State University in Arkansas had banned sagging pants, but the sign announcing the ban came down in two days after students protested. “Those students wanting the sign taken down because they say sagging pants are culturally associated with African Americans,” said student Daisha Haggans.
10. If too many white males are in your class, that’s racist. The Harvard “Voices of Diversity” project interviewed 200 students at four U.S. colleges and found that racist and sexist “micro-aggressions” — subtle but hurtful digs — are a serious problem. Examples: finding that most of the people in your class are white males, other students rolling their eyes when you speak, and “a slight raising of the eyebrows or eyes following you in the dining hall.”
“Squaw Valley is bigoted against American Indians.
Gotta change the name.”
My better half bought another horse and a mare some time ago. They already had names and one was named Squaw. A neighbor man who frequently liked to come over and play with the horses and mules got offended that the mare was named Squaw. So she allowed the man to rename the animal. This turned into a bit of an ‘issue’ with the neighbor when he heard that I still referred to that mare as “Squaw”, and not whatever new name had been picked out for it. Now, you may be thinking that the neighbor may be part indian or something since he got offended at the name. (Evidently, the word “squaw” is supposed to be offensive to indian women. I don’t know if it’s true or not). Well, the neighbor isn’t at all indian. What makes this interesting, and a prime example of just how messed up libtards are, is that EVERY weekend this neighbor likes to PLAY that he is an indian by banging on drums, building a huge fire, heating up rocks, and putting the rocks under a makeshift tarp structure that he and his other wanna-be indians crawl into to and call upon the spirits of their ‘ancient ancestors’ in their little sauna/sweat lodge ritual.
Libtards (my neighbor) are so desperate to play the victim card that even though he doesn’t have a lick of indian DNA in his blood, but because every weeked he likes to crawl around in the dirt, banging on drums around a fire, and PLAY indian, he ‘feels’ not only justified, but even entitled to claim ‘racism’ over the name of a dang mare! He’s so good at it (playing indian and the whole ‘we got screwed’ indian story) that he has amassed quite the following of other full on Caucasians who want to play indian with him too! Libtards are just plain mentally ill!!!
I have a feeling in six months these idiots may be faced with real problems.
They will look at this list and wonder what the hell they were thinking.
I’m sitting in the car driving down the interstate. The car in front of me has NC tag and it has a picture of a slice of watermelon on it!!! It’s a white guy driving. No rebel flag though. Darn.
I thought the governor of NC outlawed racist license plates.
This is the most asinine article I have read this year...get a life man!!!
Chiggers have four pairs of legs? Who knew?
They left off the Star Wars movies. You know the “dark side” is probably offensive too, right? Also, we’re probably racist if we recite the nursery rhyme: Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye. Four and twenty blackbirds, Baked in a pie...
Great story!
I can’t explain why, but it’s a fact that the San Francisco Bay Area has tons of these puzzling, “I want to be an Indian”-honkies.
Since about 70% of them come from Marin County, they call these honkies, “Marindians”.
Had a buddy who came down with a pretty bad case of that mental illness (which lasted years).
He would often invite me to those stupid pseudo-religious, whacko Sweat Lodge events, and I never went.
Several times a couple of them got sick doing it.
Didn’t deter them.
Oh, I left off the Spanish word for black. Boy, those illegals are gonna git in trouble now.
I had him doing boilerplate level 3 drawing note redlines, since it's hard to screw up that kind of repetitive task, and another section had to give the notes a stamp of approval, for legal reasons, anyhow.
Anyhow, I forget what we were discussing, but it was something about reducing the chance to mis-interpret instructions by avoiding five dollar words in material specs. I was watching him when I said something to the effect of, "calling a spade... a farking shovel." You could see him rise to the bait and deflate in disappointment as his lawsuit went a-glimmering. I mean, he glared at me, like I had somehow sucker punched him.
That kind of unprofessional nonsense gives me butthurt.
In an online chat session about spies, I called a former CIA operative a “spook”. A black member jumped on my comment, took great offense and indignantly asked the forum if they had seen what I posted!
The forum refused to censure or attack me, rather they took the time to explain to the black newbie that’s what spies are called.
Yes, they are related to spiders, not insects.
The little RED mites that burrow under your skin and are extremely irritating are called "chiggers".
The little BLACK mites which burrow under your skin and are extremely irritating are called "scabies".
The folks who irritate union thugs are called (by union thugs) "scabs". (No, infant "scabs" are NOT called "scabies")
Since "chigroes" (if applied to black irritating mites) might imply that they are RED mites, we must defer to Clay Moore's superior wisdom and tact and just call them "Arachnid Americans".
Didn’t Bush Senior used to call JEB’s kids “My little brown ones”?
Face it. If you aren’t Black, you’re racist.
I hate licorice. If it were pink, I’d hate it.
If licorice were green, I’d hate it.
If it were chartreuse, I’d detest it.
If it were yellow, I’d puke.
If it were polka-dot, I’d also puke.
If it were white, I’d puke again.
(Is that all the “pukes” I’m allowed in a post?)
If it were black; I’d barf!! - Ya’ll should not have mentioned licorice!!
Hey, it was 1958. There are hints in the movie, in that No's most trusted minions are Chinese. (Forevermore, the word 'minion' is going to make people think of yellow fire plugs.)
LOL!
Dhimmis cheerlead Sharia law to improve their odds for survival.
The same isn’t true here and now.
