The list includes:

Asking "Where are you from?"

Saying "You speak good English."

"Asking an Asian person to help with a math or science problem."

Saying "America is a melting pot." or "There is only one race, the human race."

Saying "I believe the most qualified person should get the job." or "Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough."

And lastly, "Asking a black person: 'Why do you have to be so loud/animated? Just calm down.'

"To an Asian or Latino person: [sic] Why are you so quiet? We want to know what you think.

"Be more verbal.'

"Speak up more.'"

You have to have respect for an institution that teaches critical thinking skill by banning ideas.

Universities are a joke.

Nope, it's legit and the natural progression of political correctness.

Important to note that it was UW Stevens Point, not UW Madison. If it was the latter school, it would be a much bigger deal.

UW Stevens Point has some 9000 students. UW Madison has like 50,000 and is a public ivy.
