In thinking about Papa John Schnatter and James Damore, I'm thinking about how each of their respective difficulties could have been avoided

1) NEVER explain your actions
2) APPLY the Miranda Warning to all aspects of life (anything you say can and will be used against you)
3) Don't interact with people who are easily offended
4) Be mindful that false accusations are socially acceptable, especially from preferred members of protected classes. Avoid being alone with ANYBODY in the workplace.
5) If you do advance an opinion, make sure that you do it in a way that has the law on your side. For example, James Damore shouldn't have had a "friendly discussion" about "woman's tech", female only training sessions. Rather than saying a word, just file the Federal gender discrimination complaint with no discussion.
6) Finesse your way out of projects for or with high risk people. Again, DON'T explain your actions.

I appreciate your enhancement to add granularity to the topic. Can you also list the other 999 things not to say? Thanks in advance!

Or you can just avoid saying the N-word as a white guy and not be a jerk. WOW what a concept.

Please define jerk. My observation of what people define as a jerk: Someone who disagrees with them.

i only briefly scrolled the list, but i didn't see anything that i was tempted to say at work. i assume that you're safe, but it couldn't hurt to read it.

A lot of this just boils down to being properly socialized. If you don't understand why people might avoid you if you make racial slurs I think that shows a lack of self reflection. It's not about having a list a words you can't say as much as it is about not being a jerk.

well, it can be about having a list of words not to say if you haven't picked that up by adulthood. that's why i posted the link for him.
 
How about

If you would be ashamed to do or say something in front of your grandmother or priest don't do it in public.

Exception is if your grandmother or priest are part of a group similar to the KKK

I agree but I think the list misses the point. A list of offensive words will continue to grow as society continues to become more complex. Understanding why certain words are considered offensive is more important than simply knowing what the offensive words are. If the list works better for people that are genuinely confused I guess that's good too.

You mean have a little self control, a little class, and not be a racist asshole?

(It's just more concise)

just have to keep checking back for updates of the "don't say stupid racist stuff at work" list.

Here is the biggest advice I can give: don't be a douche if you don't want to be treated like a douche. It is not being an "SJW" to treat people as they act.

By the time they reach adulthood, most people have figured out how to gauge their surroundings and tailor their speech accordingly. That has nothing to do with "SJW's".

I actually strongly disagree with the militance and intolerance of more extreme SJW's, but what happened to the people you reference has nothing to do with them - it's just decency and common sense.

1A) When getting "training" on how not to be perceived as a jerk, don't go on a rant about (N-words).

Yeah but they can call anyone they want a Nazi and it's not only OK but acceptable and applauded.

How to not be labeled a nazi :

1. Don't be a nazi.

2. Don't walk down the road with nazis and a tiki torch while chanting about Jews.

Well, no. He wants for people to be able to face no repercussions for their actions. In the stone age, if you acted the douche, you got your skull caved in. That is the opposite of what he wants.

Oh I'm not a Nazi, but can bring up any number of ANTIFA videos where they call any and everyone how isn't fellow ANTIFA NAZI. And the media is silent, no outrage, no airtime of Jewish groups/leaders disputing their claims.

Without realizing it, your post focuses on what someone "is" as opposed to what they have done. I see lots of that going on lately. We may get to the point where people get prosecuted for "being a bad person" instead of an observable or refutable offense.

I don't care about your antifa stories. If you pick up a torch and march with nazis, you're guilty by association. Are you an antisemite?

You just gave me a GREAT idea!! First of all, face-to-face contact with people is high risk. I generally insist on communicating with people via an instant messaging tool. I wonder if there is an AI application that can assign a risk score to all communication before sending it. As an added bonus, one could run all of someone else communication through the AI and assign an "ease of being offended" score. Being aware of the risk, one could avoid contact with high offense risk people.

Of course when this happens, people will stop getting to know people for who they are, just a computer filtered simulation of who they are.

It is time for a free speech lawsuit. We all know that blacks use the N word among each other, yet if a white uses it it’s firing squad time. The CEO and the board of directors have a contractural, requirement to do what is in the shareholders best interest. Having said that, if the stock goes down Schnatter has a case to sue the board on the basis for free speech, and let it crawl its way up to the Supreme Court.

One word in the US lexicon should not be allowed to carry this much economic mayhem.
