Another Ivy League uni suspended a professor because he said 那个 in a linguistics class, the Chinese equivalent of “ehm” (is it “ehm” in English?). Nothing surprises me anymore.

- PuppyTailWags 4y agoI'm always continuously surprised by how extreme, eye-catching news actually always turns out as overblown and yet collectively we as a society still follow extreme, eye-catching news. One would think eye-catching news would be seen similar to hot women washing cars on a car ad, clearly fake to sell product, but somehow people are still repeating the headlines and yet its considered unreasonable to run around pointing at random women and demanding they drop everything and wash their car.
