“limited certain solos to “people of color,” claiming white students would be engaging in “cultural appropriation”

So tell me again how many traditionally White characters were played by blacks in Hollywood movies.

I was always puzzled as to how the Holocaust could have arisen.

I’m not puzzled anymore. Completely mindless hatred and mass insanity are real things; we’re watching them in our own real time.

It does sound like an awful lot of work to be a leftist.

Beat me to it.

Another, earlier version of the intolerance:
‘Too many white people in here’: race row at US college
February 14, 2020. BBC.

A viral video showing a black student at the University of Virginia asking white students to leave the campus diversity center has sparked a debate over race.

“Frankly, there’s just too many white people in here,” the student at the podium says in the clip posted on Wednesday.

And all those segregated black only graduation ceremonies (and other “affinity” groups meaning no whites allowed alongside non-whites) are under attack in 2025:

Nope, you’re the third one on this thread.

Even the white students know the Asians have that fair locked up tight.

Here is an item I learned from a woman who owns a music school.

As a violinist and cellist she auditioned often and was in various symphonies and quartets professionally.

In the 1980s she said women feared being passed over for passing auditions, even when the rule changed to have a curtain between the judge and the musician.

She said women started wearing heavy men’s shoes after finding out judges could tell from the sound of the women’s shoes on the hardwood that they were women and thus discriminate against them.

She later said the #1 type of successful applicants in the 2000s had become “a very young Asian woman.”

In 2016, a University of Oklahoma human relations theory class stated a white man cannot be singing songs from pop diva Robyn "Rihanna" Fenty or he would be causing "microaggressions."

Being gay as hell isn’t enough to make it OK?

The whole “cultural appropriation” thing is disgusting racism against whites.

But it will remain a thing until it’s applied in both directions - as you noted.

As another example, physics today is based largely on the theories of three white men, Newton, Einstein, and Schrödinger. Therefore, should only white men be admitted into the study of physics?

Time for a lawsuit. Sue those on the board rather than the university or maybe both.

Best I could tell in a cursory search, Mark the beatboxer is a white boy, so this doesn’t surprise me.

ACLJ will be all over this one.

"Arabic numerals" were invented in India. So only Indians should be allowed to use them in mathematical calculations?

Should Christians be barred from singing the psalms because the authors were Jewish?

I’m glad the writer of this article, Emma Arms, is bringing more attention for racial double standards, but the article is five or six times longer than it needs to be.
This is like holding someone’s physical Diary book. and trying to read the first 30 pages. Run ons, redundancy galore. But. as stated. I’m glad she was brave enough to bring it up for discussion.

The only thing — the only thing — that keeps them from rolling cattle cars and building crematoria, is the Second Amendment. That's it. That's all.
