[HYPOCRACY]

Wearing clothes is appropriation of white culture.

This is fair.

As long as black students are barred from auditioning for any parts written by white composers.

I only glanced at the article and didn’t read it closely. Did it give a canonical ruling on the tough cases, where a white composer wrote a tune for a black character or vice versa? Good Lord, it is hard to be woke. One’s head has to spin like the young girl in The Exorcist.

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:

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.”
