The list is a product of the āElimination of Harmful Language Initiative,ā which aims to āeliminateā words that may be deemed āracist, violent, and biased,ā theĀ document reads. ā¦
The list recommends banning the term āAmericanā and replacing it with āU.S. Citizen,ā as it reportedly implies that the U.S. is the āmost important country in the Americas.ā ā¦
A person should also use the term āLatinXā instead of āHispanic,ā since the former term is connected to Spanish colonization, the document reads. It also listed the word āKaren,ā explaining that it can āridicule or demeanā a group of people due to their behaviors. The list further includes the term āstraight,ā āvictim,ā āgrandfather,ā ālandlord,ā āgentleman,ā āladiesā and āchief.ā ā¦
The document included a disclaimer assuring staff and students that it does not intend to completely remove the words from its websites, noting that elimination is āa goal to strive for even if it canāt be achieved.ā
