Guess what happens
[17:57-18:02]
All right so to show you how ridiculous this has become here's an example
[18:02-18:06]
This is from CNN okay and this is the year 2020
[18:06-18:15]
A University of South California professor is under fire for using a Chinese expression students allege sounds like an English slur okay
[18:15-18:22]
So there's a Chinese word that sounds like an racial slur and insult in English
[18:22-18:25]
These 2 words actually do not sound the same
[18:25-18:27]
Okay
[18:27-18:28]
You know what the word is right
[18:28-18:33]
那个 那个作词 那个电脑 okay
[18:33-18:36]
It's not the same as the English word but it sounds a bit similar
[18:36-18:42]
So what happened was some black students African-American students who were not in his class okay
[18:42-18:46]
Wrote a letter of complaint and honestly you read it
[18:46-18:47]
It sounds like a joke
[18:47-18:49]
It sounds like a prank Alright so let's read it together
[18:50-19:03]
Let's let's get so it's a professor Greg Patton and he's just teaching communication Chinese He's just teaching Chinese to his students on how to communicate in China when you do business Okay and he says look Nega
[19:03-19:12]
It's just a filler It doesn't really mean anything and he says it a few times but there's no There's no bad intention in what he's saying right
[19:12-19:14]
I mean he's just pointing out a fact
[19:14-19:29]
So what these students write is this phrase clearly and precisely before instruction is always identified as a phonetic homonym and a racial derogatory term and should be carefully used especially in the context of speaking Chinese within the social context of the United States
[19:31-19:32]
So this is a ridiculous idea
[19:32-19:37]
And honestly it sounds like a joke okay
[19:38-19:40]
It just sounds like these students are playing a joke
[19:40-19:46]
And the administration just ignored this right
[19:46-19:47]
Guess what happens
[19:47-19:56]
The dean the head of the business school announced that a different professor would take over teaching Patton's class
[19:56-19:58]
He fired Patton
[19:58-20:05]
And then he said Professor Patton repeated several times a Chinese word that sounds very similar to a vile racial slur in English
[20:06-20:11]
Understandably this caused great pain and upset among students and for that I am deeply sorry
[20:11-20:18]
It is simply unacceptable for faculty to use words in class that can marginalize hurt and harm the psychological safety of our students
[20:18-20:20]
We must and we will do better
[20:20-20:24]
He's being retarded
[20:24-20:30]
It's a joke it's a prank and he's taking it very seriously
[20:30-20:31]
Why
[20:32-20:34]
Because he's trying to protect his job
[20:34-20:36]
He's trying to look good
[20:37-20:42]
He's trying to explain why I'm the leader because I protect everyone
[20:42-20:47]
So then again why is this happening
