Students at George Washington University signed a fake petition seeking to remove the oppressive “white man” stick figures from crosswalk signals, in what one student called “a lack of representation issue.”

“As we students cross the street, we are told by the symbol of a white man when it is okay to cross,” read the fake petition, according to Campus Reform. “Many students from diverse backgrounds, including individuals of color, gender fluid individuals, and LGBTQA+ individuals, feel oppressed by this.”

Ethan Cai of Campus Reform approached students at George Washington University — as part of a social experiment — to ask if they would sign a petition requesting that the school consider changing the “offensive” white stick figures seen on crosswalk signals to symbols of women, or minorities, in the name of fostering a more “inclusive environment.”

“I assume it’s, like, one of many ways in which the default is imagined to be a white man,” said one student while she signed the petition. “This isn’t probably the most important [problem] to me, but I totally get that it could be important to other people.”

“I never thought about it, but like, I can see, like, I guess, like, why some students have a problem with it,” said one student. “I’ll totally sign that.”

“I haven’t really thought of it as a white guy, I just thought of it as the light is white,” noted another individual as he signed the fake petition.

“Oh, that’s so lit!” exclaimed a third student who agreed to sign.

I cannot believe these unwoke, thoughtless people just outright assumed the gender of the crosswalk stick figure.

They assumed zim gender correctly - the stick figure does NOT have a stick penis, so xe must be a man. If xe would have a penis, xe would be a womyn...or something. Wokeness is getting too confusing

Really shows that idiots will sign anything without understanding why street lights all have to be same so people don't get into fucking accidents and get run over.

What would be really funny if they make another fake petition to hcange red/yellow/green a symbol of white oppression and demand those be changed to be more inclusive to see how many idiots would sign that one.

I bet this will get some moron on the left obsessed about changing those signs. Which will lead to change, which will lead to accidents, which will lead to lawsuits, which will lead to change back.

Maybe we could use words like "walk" and "don't walk." Ooops, I forgot, literacy in English is DECREASING in the USA.

Maybe we should go with black figure on a black background. Yeah, awesome!

Or maybe black figure on a white background and blind the drivers at night.

These are college students, they are adults legally. Unfortunately "legally" only.
