You’d think yoga would earn at least a couple of points from the diversity over alles crowd for being invented by Asians, wouldn’t you?

This is as insane as the BLM crowd disrupting New Yorkers at brunch because brunch is a “white thing”
So people who like Yoga,brunch,and probably ice hockey are all racists.
The country has gone stark,raving,mad.

Before long, she will be reaping the “benefits” of welcoming people who she considers “oppressed.”

Go to the "Jungle" under I-5 and you'll find a whole "diverse" population for your yoga classes.

I like my yoga white, unless it has some fruit mixed in with it.

Gee, you live in Seattle, a city with just a hair shy of 70% whites, and you marvel that your Yoga class is dominated by white folks?

What? She can encourage enough blacks to go because they think it’s stupid?
Oh well!
Leave it up to an SJW to go after yoga of all things. These people seem to be in a permanent “child’s pose”.

More darkies should ski and play hockey and swim, we whities should force them, Just like we used to make them pick our cotton. /Sarc

Let me guess, they said that white folk were doing business at brunch rather than lunch to exclude black people?

When did yoga become so white?C'mon!
Yoga is as white as bike lanes, organic food markets, and calling soccer "football".
Quit kidding around!

How come this doesn’t work in reverse? Why is there no liberal angst that rap music is dominated by blacks?? Or that the NBA is so dominated??? Why no liberal concerns about disproportionate numbers of homosexual men in the fashion industry???
If we are saying we need diversity in all areas of life, clearly liberals are cherry picking as they ignore certain areas where certain groups are clearly overrepresented.
To: Junior_G
Just as white liberals lament there are not enough blacks that go to national parks.
Just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy!
