“Diversity Happy Hour!” Whites: Go Be Happy Somewhere Else

You, or at least I, can’t make this stuff up.

Diversity Event That Excluded White People Called Off,” Inside Higher Ed reports this morning.

An employee group at South Puget Sound Community College, facing criticism, has called off a diversity happy hour to which the white people were not invited…. The email invitation said that there were other ways for white people to gather. “If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that,” the invitation said. College officials said it was a “mistake” to organize an event that excluded anyone based on race or ethnicity.

It’s not clear from this report whether Asians would have been allowed to join with blacks to attack white racism or instructed to create their own space to do that. And what of whites or Asians whose idea of a “happy hour” does not include working on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege? Well, that just proves that such work needs to be done, doesn’t it?

    “diversity happy hour”?
    How DARE they engage in such cultural appropriation!

    “If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that,”

    And I’m sure they will.
    Another poor choice of words.

    More evidence that blacks are rabidly racist.
