The federal government is spending $125,000 to study adjectives that could be perceived as sexist or racist.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) tasked the University of Kansas with conducting the study last year.
“The proposed research predicts that stereotypes activate different standards of judgments for members of different groups; therefore, evaluations (adjectives) mean different things depending on the person described,” according to the grant for the study.
