Anything can be hurtful. By definition free speech will insult someone at some point. There is a big difference between someone who has accomplished something and someone who has not crossed anyone. Looking for talent is one thing, lack of faults is another. So race is the safe space right now. What next? Shall we deny admissions to anyone who used the term “bitches”? Since we’re denying for racism, will we be denying admission to any minorities who post hateful comments about whites? Racism is racism. What if those whites are Jews? Are they protected then? What if they’re Christian? Immigrants from persecution? But you can’t tell that by the color of the person’s skin. All most people will see is “white” or worse “white patriarchy”. If they’ve had direct family members killed, does that give them enough suffering points to compete with historical injustices? What if they are already attending classes? Do we expel them? Now we have restricted speech on campus, campuses where liberals frequently shout down ideas they don’t like at non-mandatory events instead of simply not attending. If we don’t expel them we’re sending the message that punishment for social transgressions as a minor are more severe than as an adult. That an institution will punish you more for an unwritten or at least unadvertised rule than later, when they have the opportunity to make it super clear. Unless this is only exercised in the most extreme cases, it’s nothing more than pandering to the current movements because you’re selecting those who are ignorant enough to post stupid shit online. Don’t get me wrong, some people are incredibly stupid in their conclusions (often from selection bias) and their actions (posting said conclusion on FB), but since I doubt it will applied equally, I’m not a believer. All kinds of people hurt for different reasons. Why is everyone’s responsibility to be concerned about other people’s hurt? I’m a minority and immigrant. My birth country has gone through such massive amounts of murders and fairly recent genocide I doubt most Americans can even contemplate such numbers. I see racial slurs against where I’m from and the people don’t even know it’s a slur, that’s how common it is. Is it everyone’s responsibility to be aware of my feelings? No. Funny thing, if I’m insulted because of a lie related to my birth country, I’m a minority and have the right to be angry. If I’m insulted because of a lie related to me being a guy, it’s male fragility. Gatekeeping at its best.
