Seattle Parks and Recreation promoted and cohosted an event at Discovery Park that’s open to all — except white people. Yet again, the city is embracing a segregationist culture in the name of inclusion.

The “interactive beach walk” at Discovery Park coincides with Seattle Forest Week. The event was in partnership with Sea Potential, an environmental nonprofit that seeks to connect area-youth of color with maritime through “healing activities and ocean justice conversations.”

Though the City of Seattle prohibits discrimination, this event was only “open to anyone who identifies as BIPOC.” It’s not the first time Seattle Parks has greenlit discriminatory events.

The event, held this past Sunday, was meant to connect the community with nature. Discovery Park is one of the few area parks not overrun by the homeless, making it perfect for an event of this kind. But the invite makes clear who is and isn’t invited.

“We invite you to explore what you can learn about yourself and community, as we strengthen our sense of place and appreciate nature in a way that is culturally responsive to our experiences as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. This event is open to anyone who identifies as BIPOC,” the event description reads.

“open to anyone who identifies as BIPOC.”

What absolute BS, and this is from the "science" yammerers.

Why is that?
