The Eleven Most Ridiculously PC Moments of 2017
National Review ^ | 1/2/2018 | KATHERINE TIMPF

A year in review of crazy

A lot of things happened in 2017 — including a lot of being offended.

It was hard to narrow it down, but here — in no particular order — are the eleven most politically correct moments of 2017:

1. It was declared “cultural appropriation” for a white woman to wear hoop earrings.

A resident assistant at Pitzer College sent out a campus-wide email declaring that it was unacceptable for white girls to wear hoop earrings — because wearing them was culturally offensive to “the black and brown bodies who typically wear hooped earrings.”

This did not stop me from continuing to wear hoop earrings. Why? Well, for one thing, I understand that humanity has been around for so long that there’s really no such thing as an original idea anymore, anyway. Everything goes back to someone else’s idea — including hoop earrings, which were initially worn by people in ancient cultures. For another thing, I recognize that bombarding an entire campus with your feelings on jewelry is completely bananas, and a hoop earring is literally just a piece of metal twisted into a circle. No one owns circles, kids — certainly not you.

2. Berkeley students claimed they did not have enough “privilege” to take their exam in class.

It seems like a good time to remind everyone that people who attend college are generally adults.

Lose that idea and you'll understand a lot about this silly crap going down on campus. That applies to the professors too.

Do you know what this means?

Star Trek is RACIST!

Why?

Every episode the Captain says “Yellow Alert” and “Red Alert.”

I saw that clip a few years ago. It had to be the funniest old tv sketch of all time.

Yeah it was crazy all right, Lowrie "conservatives" supporting Clinton, Billie Kristol showing his commie roots, etc. Image and video hosting by TinyPic I'll clap and cheer when National Review shuts its doors.

I’ll tell my employer time is fluid and that’s why I was late for work, took an excessively long lunch, and left early. Don’t oppress me.

One university advertized for math teachers but they demanded how much sjw they had rather than math skills.

Moo culturally appropriates white chick wigs.

According to liberals, EVERYTHING that a white person ever did or discovered or invented was because of racism.

Whenever I see anyone toss out “cultural appropriation” horse$hit, I always respond with, “You mean like straightening your hair?” Their eyes cross and roll up, and they tilt.
