[...] Telling a recent immigrant: “You speak good English”. I don't understand this one. It's an aggression to tell an immigrant they speak good English? People have told me I speak good English, where they aggressive? I guess they could say it in a condescending or patronizing way. But then again if they wanted to be mean and offensive, they could probably find another way of being mean. A rule about not mentioning how well I speak English won't stop them. It's also interesting that out of all the places it's universities that go out of their way ensuring nobody is offended about anything. How are they studying history, which is full of terrible things. Are their history departments rewriting ancient texts and manuscripts to excise any disagreeable stuff. Looking at what happened to my university, it seems after tuition has increased to astronomical proportions, colleges have started to treat students as customers. If you are a customer and walk into a store, you expect to be treated like royalty, especially if you just shelled out a six figure check to them. "How dare they insult me" is a pretty rational, though shortsighted, comeback given the cost of attending the school. The interesting thing happens then after kids graduate. They expect to go through life without ever being offended. I mean, yeah, it's nice to never be offended, but it's also unrealistic.
