After a few committed months of hot yoga at a studio in New York, Christina Rice had found her niche. So when the studio announced that it was offering teacher training, she signed right up. It was only when she arrived with her mat that she noticed something striking. There were 54 other women and men in the 10-week course, and not one of them looked like her. She was the lone African American in the class.

My community has about a thousand households. I went to a large gathering once and saw a lone black woman there. Never saw her again. She really stuck out.

...Come on, Harry! Come on, Sue
We’re gonna do what the magazines tell us to
Get ourselves in shape the fashionable way
Twenty-five laps around the pond
Will make us tall and slim and blonde
Oh, hand me down my jogging shoes today...

They actually looked exactly like her except for melanin level. And height, weight, age, body shape, age, hair color, and a bazillion other things. Why do they always focus on just that one?

And yet, pick a class, any class, she says. “Is this reallllly everybody, or just everybody that can afford to go?”

Well, blacks and Hispanics have more jobs and more money now. Thank Trump! ;-)

Did she ever consider that there may be other things black people may want to do?

I went to a yoga class with my mother when I was about 6 years old. The class was made up of all white women. Yoga always seemed like something that appealed to a certain group of people. It wasn’t for everyone. I think it still like that today.

If she was welcomed there, what’s the problem? We’re supposed to be beyond race. I’m a pretty bad basketball player, but used to box and am have that kind of build. A friend and I were at a racially mixed YMCA and were the only ‘white guys’ in a pick up basketball game. After playing for maybe an hour one of the ‘African American’ guys we were playing against said “you guys are more like ‘beach guys’ than basketball players”. We all had a good laugh, and had a good time playing full court. People need to suck it up and quit being so ridiculously oversensitive.

So she got in the class, noticed there were "too many whites for her" and that got her pissed.

Sorry, she's a racist.

Racist. Maybe take pride that you were hired to teach because of your skill? No, make it about race. /spit. Maybe listen to this person you may have heard about: Martin Luther King Jr. To him, the goal was for it to be about the content of the character. Well you failed. /ref to the person in the article and the Washington Compost reporter, not you C19fan
