They're flagging words that have scientific applications that have nothing to do with anything divisive but are also used with things they find divisive. You can't use "barrier" or "historically" or fucking "polarization."
Ironically, my primary area of study was Marxist theory with an emphasis on bureaucracy, and those words aren’t on the list. But once again, STEM gets all the attention.
Talking about REMOVING BIAS from your scientific study? How DARE you.
Please explain what is biased about the three words I just listed. What are they biased against, cells, time and magnetism?
Bias is a banned word, thats what they were pointing out.
Edit: In specific
Oh, I see. Thank you.
Considering the down votes they got, I don't think you were the only person to take what they said differently, the conservatives out there are really fucking up even basic communication with this crap.
Very much so.
