It is understood a white woman who overheard the joke reported it to officials at the University of Oregon, which runs the festival, claiming it amounted to a racial slur.

So, a white woman determined it was a 'slur' when the black guy didn't, so ran and told the 'officials' who promptly sacked him without any due process..........................

We should warn unsuspecting Foreigners about our comical nancy pants, Politically Correct, feel good and offended social culture here in the USA. I have foreign friends and colleagues that make fun of America for being so PC. We really do not understand how bad it is until you listen to others point out the insanity. We have gotten used to this.

According to my Mexican Colleagues, in the USA....

“You cannot talk about girls.”
“You cannot talk about spouses or boy/girlfriends”
“You cannot talk about Mexicans, Muslims, Asians or black people.”
“You cannot talk about God.”
“You cannot talk about Christmas or Santa Claus.”
“You cannot talk about gay people.”
“You cannot talk about (people with Downs Syndrome).”
“You cannot talk about handicap people.”

And they are right. When you know their language and listen to them have casual conversation, they are a much more relaxed people and do not get offended easily.

Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically assault Whites.

An uptight, frustrated, ideological, credulous, leftist white woman. We all know the type.

I suspect this is fake news....??? (The Shrinking Oregon Bach Festival)

UDGING by its 2017 program, the Oregon Bach Festival has made substantial cutbacks in programing in the post-Helmuth Rilling era. The German conductor, who co-founded the festival with the University of Oregon’s Royce Saltzman in 1971, retired in 2013. He was succeeded by the highly regarded conductor Matthew Halls.

The most pressing concerns are a decline in ticket sales, a reduction in the number of performances at the city’s major concert venue, and a substantial cut in the number of performances by professional musicians. It’s hard to know which of these developments are cause and which are effect. But either way, this year’s scaled-back schedule offers fewer choices for patrons and also raises questions about the festival’s future.

(On August 22, Oregon Cultural Trust awarded OBF) a creativity grant of $31,246 to support the commission and world premiere of The Passion of Yeshua, a new work by Richard Danielpour, and to engage the community in productive, cross-cultural dialogue. Generous spring donors lifted Oregon Cultural Trust fundraising to a new high, resulting in a record $2.94 million in grants to 136 cultural nonprofits for fiscal year 2017-18. The awards include a total of $735,887 to the Cultural Trust’s five Statewide Partners (Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Heritage Commission, Oregon Humanities, Oregon Historical Society and the State Historic Preservation Office); $735,887 to 45...)

Actors use of patois is an art....anyone else smell a rat here? I wonder why......

This isn’t about race. It’s just an effort to beat us into submission so that we’re ready for the ultimate takeover by Islam.

See: Europe.

Per the article, he made a joke about grits in a fake Southern accent and the libtard woman thought it was racist. I guess no white folks be eating grits in her neighborhood.

Then he said in an Austrian accent, “I’ll be Bach.”

The most disturbing thing is that some woman felt compelled to "report" this to "authorities". Stasi, stasi, stasi.

That woman must have grown up in the PC school system as a teacher's pet. She is probably hoping for a gold star for her forehead. Truly shameful behavior.
