The University of Ottawa yoga class that was canceled due to concerns of cultural appropriation will be returning with an Indian instructor.

In November, the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa informed yoga instructor Jennifer Scharf that her class catering to students with disabilities would be canceled because of the "cultural issues and implications" involved with a white woman teaching a yoga class. [...]

Now, CBC News reports the yoga class is returning to the University of Ottawa with an Indian instructor named Priya Shah.

Unlike Scharf, who had been teaching the yoga class for seven years, Shah became licensed in May. She also claims to have never taught a class for students with disabilities before. ...

Are Indians allowed to use electricity and indoor plumbing since they were invited by the white race???

Can only whites play basketball, invented by a white man?

[lrdg]

Shouldn’t the students in the class be limited to Indians? It seems pretty racially insensitive to suggest that a bunch of white folks should be allowed to hijack yet another cultural institution.

muslims culturally appropriated guns from Europeans.

Therefore, I similarly require all muslims give up all guns.

You’re right. Skills are not genetic.

Let’s see... 1) it’s a public university, 3) it involves a woman working with children with disabilities, 4) it involves a trendy eastern practice,

What will the libtards do when they get thrown out of doing all their “cool” stuff on the public’s dime?

Sorry Ms. Scharf, but you’re not even moving the empathy meter.

This needs to be outsourced!

That white teacher has a clear course of action with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Unless the Indian teacher is a specialist in yoga *for the disabled*, then the students are being illegally shortchanged.

Dot or feather?

Look, if only an Indian can teach yoga.....only an Indian should be able to learn yoga....

what good is learning something if you can’t then turn around and teach it to somebody else?

This is PC beyond stupid

[tophat9000]

Plumbing was, according to the ruins found, probably invented in India.

[Tax-chick]

It’s in Canada.

My son was just telling me about that this afternoon. They’re doing ancient civilizations in his world history class.

[Boogieman]

Perhaps, but everyone knows the flush toilet was invented by John Crapper!

[Bon mots]

Oh no...
Whites invented Baseball, Football...
and Computers...
and...
