If you’ve been thinking lately that pretty much everything has been deemed racist these days, you are absolutely right. The word has been bandied about so much that it is rapidly losing any real meaning.

Here are 10 things beginning with the letter ‘A’ that somebody, somewhere has deemed racist.

Academic freedom is racist, according to Sandra Korn, a senior at Harvard University and a columnist for the Harvard Crimson. In a February column, Korn unambiguously insisted that the Ivy League school should stop guaranteeing professors and students the right to hold controversial views and should instead only pursue research that strives for “justice” by opposing “racism, sexism, and heterosexism.” (RELATED: Harvard Writer: Free Speech Threatens Liberalism And Must Be Destroyed)


In May, the obscure leftist website Salon published a rant reviling once-funny comedian Adam Sandler for all his bad movies. The tweet promoting the piece read: “At long last, audiences are waking up to just how lazy and racist Adam Sandler’s films are (and have always been).”



U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) and his wife Angela are white. They have four adopted children of African American, Hispanic, and Native American descent. In January, after MSNBC tweeted – and then deleted – a bizarre tweet about conservatives and biracial families, Huelskamp tweeted a family photo. In response, notes Twitchy, a tweeter named Sarah (@ojc1234) wrote: @CongHuelskamp you ****ing borrowed a black family for a photo op? What a dick! (Twitter suspended Sarah.)



Air is racist, according to a Think Progress article published in April. “[N]on-white people breathe air that is substantially more polluted than the air that white people breathe,” the breathless piece explains. “Altogether, people of color in the U.S. breath [sic] air with 38 percent more nitrogen dioxide in it than their white counterparts, particularly due to power plants and exhaust from vehicles.”



In its daily struggle to create content, BuzzFeed published a March 2013 listicle explaining why several Disney movies are racist. “Aladdin” is among them. The 1993 flick’s sin is “its portrayal of Middle Eastern culture, especially the intro song ‘Arabian Nights.’” BuzzFeed also calls “The Little Mermaid,” “Peter Pan” and, of course, “The Jungle Book” racist. (RELATED: Prof: Disney’s ‘Jungle Book’ Was Racist, Should Be Sanitized For Remake)

​

At Dartmouth College, America’s most disturbingly fragile Ivy League school, junior Daniela Hernandez was offended by an all-you-can-eat taco bar planned as part of a “Phiesta” fundraiser for cardiac care by the Phi Delta Alpha fraternity and the Alpha Phi sorority. The Greek groups canceled the event after racism allegations. It also would have included a live band, virgin piña coladas and guacamole. (RELATED: It’s Official: At Dartmouth, The Word ‘Fiesta’ Is Racist And White People Can’t Use It)



In May, American Girl – the overpriced doll company – came under fire for stopping production of some dolls: Marie-Grace, Cécile, Ruthi and Ivy. Cécile was a black doll. Ivy was an Asian doll. An American Girl Facebook post from the company garnered well over 1,000 responses, reports Vocativ. Many Facebook users suspected racist motives for the move. A representative for the company noted that “American Girl will be archiving a total of nine Caucasian characters since 2008,” according to ABC News.



At Live Oak High School in Northern California, school officials banned students from wearing anything emblazoned with the American flag on Cinco de Mayo, due to concerns that such displays of patriotism would inflame racial tensions by offending Mexican students on their holiday. The district’s policy concerned many free speech advocates, but was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (RELATED: Students, It’s Illegal To Wear An American Flag Shirt On Cinco De Mayo)



Arresting international gun runners is racist according to an attorney for Chinatown gang leader Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, who was arrested during an FBI raid in March in connection with an investigation into official corruption by California state Sen. Leland Yee. Chow and Yee face various charges including laundering $2.3 million, gun-running, conspiracy and other crimes, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. (RELATED: Arms-smuggling Democrat Leland Yee spoke at Obama campaign headquarters)



The movie Avatar is racist, because it smacks of racially paternalistic overtones. The racist aspect involves a white good guy who appears to save a group of people of color – in this case, the color blue – from subjugation. “As Left-wing conceits go, this one surely tops all the others,” writes conservative film critic Will Heaven, according to Moviefone. “[T]he ethnic Na’vi, the film suggests, need the white man to save them because, as a less developed race, they lack the intelligence and fortitude to overcome their adversaries by themselves.”

If you’ve been thinking lately that pretty much everything has been deemed racist these days, you are absolutely right. The word has been bandied about so much that it is rapidly losing any real meaning.

Here are 9 things beginning with the letter ‘B’ that somebody, somewhere has deemed racist. (RELATED: The Alphabet of Racism: THE LETTER ‘A’)



The Benghazi select committee is racist, according to South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn. It’s “the same kind of thing that led to the end of Reconstruction,” he told NewsOne Now host Roland Martin in May. “I seem to remember our history, when after Reconstruction, when people of color gained political presence throughout the south, they drummed up all kinds of things and indictments and accusations,” he explained.”They drove these people out of the South. And I see the same kind of efforts to discredit this president.” (RELATED: A Brief History Of Racism: The Clyburn Files)



In March, obscure leftist website Salon.com published a whiny rant denouncing belly dancers who aren’t Arab as racist. “These women are more interested in their investment in belly dancing than in questioning and examining how their appropriation of the art causes others harm,” Randa Jarrar wrote. “To them, I can only say, I’m sure there are people who have been unwittingly racist for 15 years. It’s not too late. Find another form of self-expression.”



Beards are a symbol of white supremacy, according to a groundbreaking essay published in January by The Atlantic. ”What follows is the lost story of American facial hair,” it reads. “Like countless other histories, it is rife with contradictions.” Basically, white Americans derided barbering at the time of the Revolution, but then black entrepreneurs turned facial hair into a source of wealth and prestige. Then the beard came along, which is “a fashion born out of desperation but transformed into a symbol of masculine authority and white supremacy.” (RELATED: Movember Declared ‘Sexist, Racist, Transphobic’ At Canada’s Sorry Imitation Of Harvard)



Government workers in Seattle were advised in a memo last August the term “brown bag” would no longer be allowed, because it’s racist, and should be replaced with “lunch-and-learn” or “sack lunch.” For African Americans, “the phrase brown bag does bring up associations with the past when a brown bag was actually used, I understand, to determine if people’s skin color was light enough to allow admission to an event or to come into a party that was being held in a private home,” Elliott Bronstein, of the Office for Civil Rights, wrote in the memo, obtained by Fox News. (RELATED: Seattle Government Bans Racist Terms Like ‘Citizen’ And ‘Brown Bag’)



Babies show racial bias, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Washington found. Babies in the study were more willing to share their toys with others who shared their ethnicity, reported CBS. Jessica Sommerville, a UW associate professor of psychology, said her study shows “babies use basic distinctions, including race, to start to cleave the world apart by groups of what they are and aren’t a part of.”




Being white is racist, according to a manual used by the military to train its Equal Opportunity officers. “Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege,” the manual reads, according to Fox News. It also warns of the so-called “White Male Club,” and instructs troops to “support the leadership of people of color.”



Bitcoin is the tool of privileged white Christian males, according to Think Progress, who can afford to reject standard currency because unlike apparently everyone else, they don’t need the state to help them overcome oppression. ”Bitcoin users’ rejection of the government reflects the luxury of being able to live well without state support,” the piece explained, “while the less advantaged desperately need a larger government role in the banking system to help them them overcome deep, systemic bias.”


A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets in 2008 escalated into a debate about whether the term “black hole” is racist when a white commissioner said central collections “has become a black hole.” A black commissioner was incensed and interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” and declared central collections is “a white hole.” The judge, who was also black, then demanded an apology from the white commissioner for his racially insensitive analogy.



An Obama-appointed federal judge ruled in March that Border Fences are racist. A congressionally-approved Homeland Security initiative to put fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border may have a “disparate impact on lower-income minority communities,” Judge Beryl Howell said, according to Judicial Watch.

The Daily Caller Presents The Alphabet Of Racism: THE LETTER ‘C’

The Daily Caller’s alphabetical tour de force showing that everything — no really, everything — is racist these days continues apace. The word has been bandied about so much that it is rapidly losing any real meaning.

Here are 12 things beginning with the letter ‘C’ that somebody, somewhere has deemed racist.



Carp — oily freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae — are racist according to Minnesota state senator John Hoffman. In April, Hoffman introduced a bill to start calling “Asian carp” the completely offensive name “invasive carp.” Hoffman complained that calling the fish “Asian” was insensitive, notes Breitbart.


Crossing your arms is racist according to black comedian Aries Spears, who explained to digital cable channel TV One that large numbers of white people are racists. As evidence, he said according to Breitbart, many white people cross their arms when President Barack Obama is referenced.



Climate change is racist according to Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison who, though he represents a district in frequently frigid Minnesota, managed to tweet in April: “Communities of color are more vulnerable to deaths from heat waves, which climate change will make worse #ActonClimate.” The tweets in reply are hilarious, by the way.



After country music singers Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley sang an acoustic ditty critical of Obamacare at the 2013 Country Music Awards, Twitter users took to their accounts to call the country music-loving audience a bunch of “rich white people who are racist and hate black people,” according to Fox News.



In December 2013, the obscure leftist website called Salon ranted that Christianity is racist in an all all-over-the-place essay that lops in “Duck Dynasty,” Evangelicals’ rejection of homosexuality and these darned kids today. “[R]acism and colonization have also allowed white people, like Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, to create the Jesus they wish to see, too: a blonde, blue-eyed white man with long hair,” the Salon writer fumes.



Back in 2009, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) bizarrely suggested that colorblindness concerning race — “the idea that ignoring or overlooking racial and ethnic differences promotes racial harmony” — is somehow itself racist. The SPLC is, of course, most famous because a man named Floyd Lee Corkins used an SPLC “Hate Map” to find the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C. He entered the headquarters lobby in August 2012 in an attempt to “to kill as many people as possible” and “smother Chick-fil-A sandwiches in their faces” because he disagreed with the conservative organization about gay marriage. Corkins managed to shoot a security guard. The guard disarmed him.

The Daily Caller Presents The Alphabet Of Racism: THE LETTER ‘D’

11:41 PM 07/20/2014
Rachel Stoltzfoos
If you’ve been following The Daily Caller’s alphabet of racism you’re starting to understand that racism is everywhere, everyday. If you haven’t, learn your ‘A,’ your ‘B’ and your ‘C’ immediately.

And here are 7 things beginning with the letter ‘D’ that somebody, somewhere has deemed racist.



The death penalty and white people who support it are racist, according to Slate. A long time ago, white people used the death penalty as a tool of racial control, the piece explains, and more white than black people support capital punishment today. Therefore if you support the death penalty and you’re white, you’re racist. Because absolutely nothing has changed since the Civil War or even the Civil Rights movement.



When Manuel Sykes, a black preacher running for Congress in Florida, was told in a blunt voicemail his 2014 run would not be supported by the Democratic Party, he saw racism. “Well, what they’re saying is, ‘Stay in your place,” he explained in a May interview. ”It’s OK to run for local elections, state elections, but you’re not going to represent us in Washington. … We want your vote but the rest you stay out of.’”



A&E’s hit reality TV series “Duck Dynasty,” which is a show about a loving family who makes duck calls for a living, isn’t just racist, it’s apparently an agent of white supremacy. In a discussion last December about a growing “us versus them culture” in the U.S., MSNBC’s Michael Eric Dyson said Phil Robertson and the Duck Dynasty “is part of a majority white supremacist culture that either consciously or unconsciously incubates hatred toward those who are different.”



Some dogs are apparently racist, although they are not born that way, unlike white people. Animal Behaviorist Crista L. Coppola explains: ”Dogs are not born racist. Some will however be reactive towards a certain ‘look’ of people if they were not socialized properly to that ‘look’ when they were pups and/or they have a bad experience with people that ‘look’ a certain way…”



Lots of Disney movies are racist, and “Dumbo” is one of them, according to this important listicle. In probably one of many offending scenes, faceless black men pitch a circus tent and sing a happy song with these lyrics: “We slave until we’re almost dead / We’re happy-hearted roustabouts” and “Keep on working / Stop that shirking / Pull that rope, you hairy ape.”


The democratic process is a tool of racism, according to former Colorado Senator Angela Giron. When thousands of citizens angry about her votes to restrict their Second Amendment rights gathered enough votes to hold a recall election, she played the race card. “I know it’s partially about me being a Latina and being in this position of authority,” she said, before being ousted from office in the 2013 recall election.



Racism began in part with renowned philosopher Descartesmaking the statement “I think, therefore I am,” according to Berkeley Law professor John A. Powell. At a White Privilege conference in May, he explained it this way:

“So whiteness, actually, is very tied to our modern sense of self. And this was part of what’s called the ‘Enlightenment project.’ So that project, which goes back to people like Descartes — remember Descartes, where he says, ‘I think, therefore I am’? So he had the separation of mind and body. He had the separation of the mind, rational mind, from nature. So this radical individual that perceives himself — and it largely was a him — as being isolated from each other, isolated from nature, hostile to nature in a scary world, was also a white self. So the expression of the self, the modern self, is actually racialized.”

As you can see the details are murky, but the important point is that Descartes was part of the Enlightenment, which is responsible for our radicalized identities, which is responsible for racism.

The Daily Caller Presents The Alphabet Of Racism: THE LETTER ‘E’

Rachel Stoltzfoos 12:23 AM 07/24/201

Learning the alphabet of racism is no small task, and frankly writing it isn’t either. But here at The Daily Caller we’re dedicated to spreading the news that racism is everywhere, everyday. The letter ‘A,’ the letter ‘B,’ the letter ‘C,’ and the letter ‘D’ are behind us — only 21 more letters to go!

Here are seven things that start with the letter ‘E’ that somebody, somewhere has deemed racist.



Ending racism is racist, declared Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a dissenting opinion after the Supreme Court ruled the feds can’t force the state of Michigan to engage in racial discrimination. Michigan had passed a proposal mandating race-neutral state policy, which effectively banned affirmative action in that state. But Sotomayor complained Michigan’s decision to ban a racist policy was itself racist, because it “changed the basic rules of the political process in that State in a manner that uniquely disadvantaged racial minorities.”



If you or a loved one talked about Barack Obama’s lack of experience as a presidential candidate (and you’re white), you’re almost certainly racist, because “experienced” is apparently a racial code word. Basil Smikle of The Century Foundation told Michelle Malkin in amazing detail exactly why the word and those who use it are racist: “Experienced? Does it really mean the time that [Obama] spent in the Senate, or does it mean, ‘Well, does that guy have the same kind of experience in life that I have?’ … What does inexperience really mean?”



The Enlightenment is racist, according to an eye-opening essay published in The New York Times last year, because it’s responsible for the pseudo-scientific idea that white people are smarter than everybody else. The “so-called Enlightenment,” says The Times, “witnessed the development of the slave trade into the very foundation of the global economy, and at the same time saw racial classifications congeal into pseudo-biological kinds, piggy-backing on the divisions folk science had always made across the natural world of plants and animals.”



In addition to being super annoying, those animated icons called Emojis — showing up in pre-teen text messages everywhere — are racist, according to Miley Cyrus and a bunch of other people who started a petition demanding Apple diversify the icons. “If you look at Apple’s emoji keyboard,” the petition complains, “what do you see? Two different camels. A smiling turd. EVERY PHASE OF THE MOON. But of the more than 800 emojis, the only two resembling people of color are a guy who looks vaguely Asian and another in a turban.” Other apps have been developed with emojis that aren’t just representative of white straight people, but the default keyboard is still pretty racist.




Everyone who doesn’t care about the Ebola outbreak currently going on in parts of Africa is probably racist, implies this scathing article written by the obscure leftist website Salon, which specializes in playing the race card. The “troubling truth,” explains the article in so many words, is that many Americans have a hard time caring about the outbreak, because they can’t get past their racist view that African people are savages.



President Obama has been getting a lot of flak from the media for, among numerous other things, constantly going on extravagant vacations. But expecting the President to spend money reasonably is racist, according to — you guessed it — Salon’s editor-in-chief. There appears to be “a very different standard for this particular first family,” Joan Walsh said according to MSNBC. Conservatives are trying to treat the first family like “high-level welfare queens” who are “living it up on our dime,” she complained on a different occasion. “It’s going back to this idea of the ‘uppity Negro,’ isn’t it?”



“Entitlement society” is another one of those insidious racial code words used by white people, according to political analyst Juan Williams. These words aren’t connected to race in any kind of concrete way, which is exactly why they’re so clever! ”The language of GOP racial politics is heavy on euphemisms that allow the speaker to deny any responsibility for the racial content of his message,” Williams explained in a 2012 essay for The Hill. “The code words in this game are ‘entitlement society’ — as used by Mitt Romney — and ‘poor work ethic’ and ‘food stamp president’ as used by Newt Gingrich.”

The Daily Caller Presents The Alphabet Of Racism: THE LETTER ‘F’

The Daily Caller’s alphabet of racism continues — keep up the good work.
Here are seven people, places, things, concepts, or words beginning with the letter ‘F’ that someone, somewhere deemed racist.



Fewer black baseball players is racist, according to Hank Aaron. In a conversation about how race relations have, or have not, improved since he was chasing Babe Ruth’s home run record, the baseball legend implied the GOP is a modern day version of the KKK, and said anyone who thinks a lot has changed is kidding themselves. He cited a lack of black baseball players as evidence. “When I first started playing, you had a lot of black players in the major leagues,” he told USA Today. ”Now you don’t have any. (7.7 percent of big-leaguers last season). So what progress have we made? You try to understand, but we’re going backward.”



In 2012, The Huffington Post published a piece explaining why The Fire Department of New York City is racist. The Civil Rights division of the Justice Department sued the FDNY, which was 89 percent white, for discriminating against black and latino candidates. The Justice Department won its case, for reasons not elaborated in the piece. The FDNY claimed it simply hired those candidates who passed the test, but the Huffington Post explained why the FDNY must be racist: “To achieve 89 percent all white status, in a City of New York agency, there has to be a number of discriminatory practices used to bar non-White applicants access.”



The term “food stamps” is racist, said MSNBC’s Chris Matthews after Newt Gingrich gave a speech in 2011 using the apparent racial code. Gingrich had referred to Obama as a “food stamp president,” and asked whether Americans wanted to be a country that creates foods stamps, or a country that creates paychecks. “Haven’t heard food stamps discussed since the last racist guy tried to play the card,” Matthews said as he played the race card. “I mean, I can’t remember the last time it was talked about. [It has] a particular tinge to it.” (RELATED: Mentioning ‘food stamps’ the new racism, says Chris Matthews)



The 1958 broadway musical and subsequent film you’ve probably never heard of called “The Flower Drum Song” was deemed racist because of the way it portrayed Asian Americans. In 2002 the musical was revived, apparently sans the racist portrayal, and did relatively well. Major complaints were that the musical and film stereotyped Asians as overly exotic and did not give the female star a satisfactory role. This clip, for example, is apparently racist.



Some people think Fox News is racist, which is hardly surprising, and neither is the lack of evidence to support the accusation. The Huffington Post has a special “Fox News Racism” tag, which it has found appropriate to use a whopping four times! One story with the tag is about a former employee who sued the network in 2010 for allegedly abusing and humiliating him based on his race. However, the outcome of the case is not reported. Two more have to do with “racially charged” comments Bill O’Reilly made in 2005 about two different restaurants in Harlem. Unfortunately for the tag deeming the entire Fox News network racist, that’s all there is at this point, but more evidence is sure to turn up.



MSNBC’s Touré implied fracking is racist in a discussion on his show “The Cycle” about former Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s racist remarks a few months ago and the potential consequences. He said other NBA team owners are unsavory and should be worried about their own position: ”Some of the folks who own these NBA teams, and this is breaking news Ari, some of them are not the most savory folks. Some of them are bankrolling anti-gay marriage initiatives. Some of them got rich off of fracking. Some of them are Russian oligarchs. Some of them were part of passing on the sub-prime loan debacle.” Because fracking and racism are the same.



In a letter to the editor published in the New York Times in 1987, a history professor at Columbia University explained in a now unfamiliar calm and rational manner why the Founding Fathers were racist. “There is no question that many founders harbored doubts about the justice of slavery and that some – like Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton – can be called abolitionists,” the letter read. “Yet no amount of selective quotation can refute that the Constitution strengthened rather than weakened slavery.” Since, for example, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, this one is pretty self-evident, unlike basically every other example covered in The DC’s alphabet so far.

The Daily Caller Presents The Alphabet Of Racism: THE LETTER ‘G’

The Daily Caller’s alphabetical tour de force showing that everything — no really, everything — is racist will not stop until every letter in the English alphabet (except, possibly, ‘x’) gets its racist due.

Here are nine things beginning with the letter ‘G’ that somebody, somewhere has deemed racist.



Back in April 2012, an obscure leftist website called Salon ranted that the HBO fantasy soap opera Game of Thrones is racist because, for example, “an entire nonwhite culture” that doesn’t really exist “is presented as holding skewed values” and a white character — Sansa Stark — finds another character’s black skin “exotic.”



Getting food poisoning at an ethnic restaurant is racist, according to Slate, because some freelance writer believes that people who barf after eating and then post restaurant reviews on Yelp “tend to blame restaurants that serve ‘ethnic food’ — that is, preparations particular to culinary traditions originating outside of Europe.”



Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison, though he represents a district in frequently frigid Minnesota, believes that global warming is racist. “If you’ve ever wondered about test scores between black students and white students, if you’ve ever wondered about health disparities, if you’ve ever wondered about who gets to make it through the flood and the big bad storm and who doesn’t, you really don’t have to look any further than this issue of climate change,” Ellison explained, according to Independent Journal Review.


Golf jokes about Barack Obama are racist because, leftist talking heads argue, Republicans make fun of the president too much for golfing all the time instead of doing his job. For example, says Michelle Malkin, after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell ribbed Obama for “working to earn a spot on the PGA tour,” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell read the hammy quip’s subtext as “Obama equals Tiger Woods equals RACISM.” (RELATED: Obama Has Golfed Four Times More Than Bush Did In Eight Years)


The 2013 government shutdown was racist, according to a contemporaneous rant at an obscure leftist website called Salon. “It’s the culmination of 50 years of evolving yet consistent Republican strategy to depict government as the enemy, an oppressor that works primarily as the protector of and provider for African-Americans, to the detriment of everyone else,” wrote Joan Walsh. “The fact that everything came apart under our first African-American president wasn’t an accident, it was probably inevitable.”

In May, administrators at the University of California, Irvine deemed grass skirts (and coconut bras) racist after the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity — commonly known by the moniker FIJI since 1894 — hosted a charity fundraiser called the FIJI Islander party which featured students who dressed in island-themed garb. On May 20 Save Gasaiwai, a UCI student of Fijian descent, complained that the event caused pain to “marginalized” people and reinforced “white male hegemonic structures.” (RELATED: UC Irvine Leftists Call FIJI Frat Racist For Fundraiser Featuring Coconut Bras, Grass Skirts)




In January of this year, German candy conglomerate Haribo ceased production of licorice gummi bear candy shaped like little African masks after some Swedish people griped that the sweets were racist. The masks were part of a candy mixture called “Skipper Mix,” explains Raw Story. Complainers believed the candy mixture represented colonialism and the legacy of slavery.


In 2013, four Australian and British psychologists claimed their highly scientific study showed that white gun owners are racist because they have racist feelings toward black people. The psychologists also proclaimed that racism is directly correlated with resistance to gun control, reports Fox News.


The term “gyp” is a racial slur for the Romani minority community deriving from the word “gypsy.” The slur refers to the act of defrauding or robbing through practices such as swindling or cheating. Here’s a textbook example: While describing her struggles as a working mother, first lady Michelle Obama said, “The first thing I tried to do, which was a mistake, was that I tried the part-time thing… I realized I was getting gypped on that front.” (RELATED: First Lady Uses Racial Slur, Gets Away With It)
