"A communications professor has been put on leave after students became offended because he used the Chinese word for “that” which sounds like the n-word in English.
Yes, really.
Greg Patton was conducting an online class for the University of California’s Marshall School of Business when the incident occurred.
Patton was trying to explain how the Chinese word for “that” or “that one,” which is written as “Nàgè” and sounds similar to the n-word in English when pronounced, is used as a filler word like “um” is in English.
...Ludicrously, the university also announced that it was “offering supportive measures to any student, faculty, or staff member who requests assistance.”
