Curiously described as ‘multicultural’
You may have heard of college graduation ceremonies reserved for blacks, Latinos or gays in these increasingly segregated times.
But how about six graduation ceremonies segregated by race, sexuality and income level – at one university?
Columbia University is offering virtual ceremonies for Native American, “LGBTQIA+,” Asian, “Latinx,” black, and “First-generation and/or low income” students over the last week of April, described as “Multicultural Graduation Ceremonies.”
They cover graduates of Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, General Studies and Barnard College, its sibling women’s college. Students must register by March 21 to get their “multicultural graduation gift,” such as stoles, tassels and pins, and by March 31 to be listed as participants.
The virtual segregated ceremonies do not replace ceremonies for the whole Ivy League university and its individual schools, but rather provide “a more intimate setting for students and guests to gather, incorporate meaningful cultural traditions and celebrate the specific contributions and achievements of their communities,” the page says.
It’s not clear when Columbia first disclosed the segregated ceremonies. The earliest cached version of the page is from Friday night.
It was flagged the next day by Mercy Muroki, senior researcher at The Centre for Social Justice and graduate student in social policy at the University of Oxford.
“Racially and sexually segregated graduation ceremonies. One of the ‘best’ universities in the world,” she tweeted: “If you want to know what going backwards looks like, this is it.”
Muroki, a black woman, continued:
The cheek of calling them ‘Multicultural Graduation Ceremonies’ when they are literally based on singular ‘cultures’.
Nothing could be more anti-American than this nonsense.
To say it is pernicious would be a gross understatement.
I’ve heard that the majority of Latino students, both male and female, do not like that new unisex term Latinx.
The media is using it anyway, afraid not to, I guess.
Six? Why not 60?
the graduations as described in this story is clearly unpatriotic, against everything this country stands for.

I once said that nobody from 50 years ago would belive this sh—. Then it became 20 years. Now, it’s three.
They want to keep graduates in real majors separated from graduates in “studies” and “ology”
MLK spinning now.
“Income level????”
At some point they will ask for separate bathrooms and drinking fountains.
With no sense of irony...
Diversity without unity?
Each of the 54 genders needs their own graduation.
Unity means obedience without asking any questions, citizen.
At a minimum.
Then fat, medium and skinny builds.
Alcoholics. Stoners. Sobers.
Hard workers and slackers.
Red hair, blonde hair, brunette and black hair.
Athletic builds and 90 pound weaklings.
Blue eyes, brown eyes, and hazel eyes.
Of course, the sober, hard working, red heads with green eyes deserve their own graduation as do the 90 pound weakling, blue-eyed blondes.
It appears that if you do not self identify as one of these 6 groups; you do not get a ceremony at all.
