>Coworker says another SJW thing
How do you guys lay low, I just wanna write code and I'm scared I'll let an opinion slip or use a non-PC word and get blacklisted from any job. I'm already pretty lucky my workplace didn't do thorough background check.
Also as an aside I really want to setup a company where employees don't have to deal with all this but I'm not sure what clients I could get or what that entails at all. Living in fear of losing my job is horrible, because aside from SJWs my job is great.

So uh, what if I want to get an education in computers that isn't dumbed down for the lowest common denominator? Is that even possible? It seems obvious that many university courses are designed such that they will be passable without a meaningful understanding of what's actually going on, filled will bullshit monkey see monkey do copy-pasting of elementary code into a "magic" IDE to let the NPCs wallow in the delusion that they are smart. Anybody can do that. And then I assume their assignments are something along the lines of "make a switch statement that prints primary school arithmetic over and over again". If you ask me, an assignment should be more like "disassemble that fucker and write a few paragraphs about how a switch statement works.".

It's a pretty ubiquitous part of ebonics. You have to remember that southern rednecks and southern blacks, like it or not, culturally evolved in the same swamp.
But regarding it's increasingly prominent usage among the soy loving carbon copy twitter leftist kikes, I think the reasoning has some layers to it.
1. It sounds nonchalant, sassy, and otherwise cunt-like
2. It's gender neutral
3. It's used by blacks, so you're subtly showing your racial tolerance by making a lighthearted appropriation of their dialect. This toes the line of acceptability, so it only works when you are, in the same breath as "ya'll", somehow decrying, insulting, or otherwise playing a contrary part to the standard $(STRAIGHT_WHITE_MALE_MISOGYNERD) boogeyman, reassuring the reader that you are not racist.
No matter the line of reasoning though, it's pretty weird how it seems to have come into usage by damn near every self-important commie cunt with a checkmark on twitter. Maybe it's a CIA brainwashing trigger word.

It can change a little depending on the context. It can mean more preparing/planning as in, "Hey kids, let me know what y'all want from HEB*, I'm fixin' to head out there this afternoon." Whereas if it's later and you get a phone call as you're walking to the car you might say, "Make it quick, I'm fixin' to go to HEB."

If someone says something so incorrect that it bothers you, then just state your disagreement in a polite manner while carefully explaining your reasons for disagreement. This is the only way.
Try to think from the perspective of the person you are disagreeing with, eg. use sources they trust to back your opinions, for example to get a progressive to admit that blacks and whites have different IQ you could send them a video from David Pakman (a progressive) where he says it is true but heavily downplays it's significance, effectively making the video more digestible to the progressive, allowing you to reach common ground and work from there.
If they fire you for private political views, you can start a lawsuit. Try to gather clear evidence of them firing you illegally and you might even find some commission based lawyer. (I'm assuming you are American)

If you care about not starting fights at work, it might be safer to avoid directly talking about average IQs of an entire race. That is a quick way to get plastered as a nasty prejudiced racist by less centred people. It would be more tactful and much easier to propose that races are obviously not identical and each have traits which are different evolved. That makes it sound less like an insult. Yeah, its a shitty indirect way to voice your strong belief but if you want to keep a job free of conflict *and* argue a sensitive topic, you may have to make compromises.
