I'll take a shot at this..
Trigger Warning:
As a rule of thumb, at a picnic, don't go off the reservation.
Did I kill it?

you wife beating, racist murderer!!!
In all seriousness, I welcome this type of fluff. As when a cause delves into the frivolous, it quickly loses credibility and becomes forgotten.
We should ban the entire English language. English was spoken during many acts of racism and violence towards women and minorities, and has been used to disparage LGBTQX people all throughout history.

Okay, I hate to be a spoilsport, but I looked up the banned word list, and, to my great disappointment, because it was enjoyable to make fun of, Brandeis says the suggested word list is a student project and not university policy.

I believe you 'crushed' it, sir! Even tho that wasn't on the list.
So let me take a 'crack' at this:
Oppressive Language: Possible Alternative:
Prostitute Miley Cyrus
Mentally Ill Amber Heard, Demi Levato
Addict Johnny Depp
Abusive Relationship Johnny and Amber, Kanye and Kim
You know, I'm going to date myself here, but I remember the day when being called Black (capitalized or not) was racist and African-American was embraced. Now its flipped. I'm told all these policies are 'progressive', but.....
Same with 'Hard of Hearing' and 'Deaf'. Deaf was bad back in the day, now it's baaaack. Of course, if you don't mouth it correctly to a Deaf person, it might get misinterpreted anyway.

Why stop with the language? We should just ban all white people, then we could give them what they're really after.

Give them some time....it'll get incorporated. This is just a lazy woke professor's way of getting the students to do their work for them. Can I say 'lazy'? Or would that be 'motivationally challenged'?
