A Wu administration official, on behalf of the mayor, mistakenly sent all Boston city councilors an email Tuesday inviting them to a holiday party that was meant exclusively for “electeds of color,” prompting an apology and mixed reactions. (Boston Mayor Michelle Wu)

The email from Denise DeSantos reads: "Honorable Members: On Behalf of Mayor Michelle Wu, I cordially invite you and a guest to the Electeds Of Color Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 13 at 5:30 pm at the Parkman House, 33 Beacon Street. Please let me know if you plan to attend and if you have any dietary restrictions."

Followup email from Denise: "Hi Councilors and Team, I wanted to apologize for my previous email regarding a Holiday Party for tomorrow. I did send that to everyone by accident. I apologize if my email may have offended or come across as so. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused." etc

Negro politicians only?

[wildcard_redneck]

The people of color think themselves as the new masters.

[Redcitizen]

White is a color. In some parts of the country, whites are a minority so feel free to attend that party.

[Mr. Mojo]

If the mayor were white and sent an email invitation intended only for whiteys for a white-only holiday party, she’d be forced to resign the very next day.

The problem isn’t the colored holiday party, but that the invite got send out to non-coloreds? There is no mention of a similar segregated party for non-coloreds only, so I assume there won’t be one.

Just another racist Dem(on). Ho hum. Next!

The HNIC Club.

Electeds of color? Apparently Mayor Wu is still struggling to learn English.

“We no mean send e-mayo to gweilos. So solly!”

[MinorityRepublican]

They’ll have to cancel the party at the last minute. Otherwise, the Whites can attend.

[Fury]

What’s next - calls for non-white primaries?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Problem is she got caught!

[No name given]

It sure looks that way.

[matt04]

Yep. I winder how many ties she has done something in the past. Maybe some real journalist can do some record requests.

[Chuck N]

Wu isn’t a life long Bostonian.

[Gaffer]

She’s not sorry that she’s an overt racist. Just sorry that whites were ‘mistakenly’ invited.

[muir_redwoods]

Boston elected her, Boston deserves this.

“...if you have any dietary restrictions...”

Yess’m. I’m particularly partial to fried chicken and watermelons.
