A yoga studio in Seattle is bringing back segregation with a new class where white people are not allowed, and one local disc jockey is fighting mad.
Radio host, Dori Monson of KIRO, blasted the class at Rainier Beach Yoga in Seattle which sent an email recently soliciting students for a class titled “Yoga For People Of Color.”
The class is described in the email as being for all genders and sexual identities, but specifically targets “lesbian, bisexual, gay, queer and trans-friendly/affirming,” and people who identify as “African American/black/of the African Diaspora, Asian, South Asian, West Asian/Arab/Middle Eastern, Pacific Islander, First Nations/Alaskan Native/Native American/Indigenous, Chican/Latin, or Multiracial/Mixed-Race.”
The email concludes by declaring “white friends, allies and partners are respectfully asked not to attend,” according to MyNorthwest.com.
Monson said although he doesn’t mind the segregated class, what angers him is that those who applaud this class would be outraged by a “whites only” class.
“It would be a lead story on national news,” Monson said on his show. “It would be blared across all the websites about the racist yoga class in Seattle. And the fact is, this yoga class is every bit as racist as a bunch of white people who say they don’t want to be around somebody of color. That’s why I wouldn’t want to attend either one of those classes … The fact is, they are both racist.”

DOJ would be all over it if it were “Whites only.”
So how do they enforce that? Do they just take everybody that claims colorhood, on the honor system? Is there some kind of subjective or mechanical skin tone test? Or what? You have to bring in pictures of your ancestors or something?
No doubt the media and Academia would be going crazy over it. It would be front page headlines around the world.
I am sure the Leftist will defend this. They are 100% hypocrites, phony and frauds.
LOL!
Good point!
Sue the Hell out of them.
No different from cake bakers being sued into oblivion for refusing to service gay weddings.
If you have a business, you must serve everyone, even if they disgust you.
It’s the Amerikin way.
If only to settle their minds, I’ll say needn’t worry about this white wanting to ‘visit’ Wonder if Bill’s Hill is a member.
Well, since Seattle is among the whitest of cities it seems stupid to not invite a large portion of the population to your business. However, I believe in the freedom of association and that extends to businesses, so I could care less if they want whitey at the stretch gym.
What if I said I identify as a Trans-Lesbian First Nations Wise Latina? Would they let me in?
What if you just feel you are a black man trapped in a white man’s body? /s;)

Not that I’d want to ever associate with such a class, but in today’s world where you can define your identity on an hourly basis, a lily white guy could go there and identify himself as a black, transgendered, lesbian and could join that circus.
First, yoga is a stupid practice. Second, what the heck difference does it make if you are black or white or purple? If you want to twist your body into the shape of a hindu god then....so?
Remember, it’s Seattle, the major Marxist city of Washington State.
I’m wondering if there is going to be a “white flight” out of there, especially among businesses. That shithole needs a beating or a nuking, and I’m not particular about either.
Been there - scenic, some nice people but full of drug-addled students and transients, Marxist politicians, and PC aholes up the ying-yang.
It’s really hard to fix “stupid”, you know!
Blacks have their own television network, magazines, etc. Now this yoga studio. Sounds like we need an attorney to sue on a white person’s behalf for discrimination and put the studio out of business.
So could I start up a Yoga studio that only caters to all those poor people who have been discriminated against by this racist Ranier Yoga studio? Good business opportunity as I see it; the business ought to grow exponentially because customers will appreciate that at least their valuables won’t be stolen from their lockers while they’re in class.
Why are all the yoga mats facing Mecca?
I give up. Why are all the yoga mats facing Mecca?
Just think: a cake shop refusing a gay marriage gets run out of town on civil rights charges.
But this Yoga shop will stay up and running. :)
