University of New Hampshire Bias-Free Language Guide

The University of New Hampshire's "Bias-Free Language Guide" is examined, featuring a quote from former MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry. The document provides guidelines for "inclusive excellence" and "accurate expression" to avoid demeaning people based on personal characteristics. The guide specifically warns against phrases like "going Dutch," claiming it demeans the Dutch people by assuming they are cheap.
