A bunch of wankers in America have decreed that the word "field" is racist.
The word "field" has been declared to have racist connotations and will no longer be used in the University of Southern California’s school of social work.
It will be removed from the curriculum and academic references such as "field of study" will instead be replaced by the word "practicum".
In a letter explaining the decision the University of Southern California’s school of social work said:
"This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that would be considered anti-Black or anti-immigrant in favour of inclusive language.
Language can be powerful, and phrases such as ‘going into the field’ or ‘field work’ maybe have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign.”
This is of course deranged bollocks, as white people have also worked in fields ever since farming was invented.
