This is a fascinating - if long - look at the cultures of micro-aggressions, trigger warnings, and the like. I don't agree with quite a bit of the article, and rather take the view that any human attempts to implement a reversal of this culture would quickly take a nasty, "political correctness gone mad" vibe about it, but it's certainly exhaustive.
But is this only happening at college level? Because I read a lot about this on the internet, but I scarcely ever come across it in my daily dealings. That'll likely be my white privilege, of which I'm fully aware. Or it might be the company I keep. Which is, of course, largely white.
