We like to have one thread per topic so we merged a 2nd thread that was started after this one into this one. The 2nd thread had the title of "Boston Mayor accidentally sends out invite for an "Electeds of color"-only holiday party to all Boston city councilors"
.@MayorWu, the Mayor of Boston invited only “electeds of color” to a Holiday Party. The email was mistakenly sent to all city councilmembers, including the white ones. One white councilmember called it “divisive.”
It's really refreshing that at least in Boston an Asian American is considered to be a person of color. I thought Asian Americans were being discriminated against like the whites and Jews but I guess not any more. They now are a minority group worthy of being propped up.

Question for Dems - how do you know/decide who is white or colored? I am 1/4 Hispanic and 4% Jewish but I look white. At some point, whites need to start advocating for themselves just like any other race. Not saying they need to claim victim or minority status, but they shouldn't put up with being discriminated against in a way no other color would accept.
Just imagine if they sent out a party invitation to everyone but blacks
Exactly, it would be an egregious violation of whichever constitutional amendment it is that guarantees the right to be protected against discrimination in being invited to parties.

Nobody claimed it was a constitutional violation. It’s not a constitutional violation to walk up to someone and call them an a**hole to their face, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stick up for yourself.

It is a constitutional violation, though. It's a government sanctioned party therefore it violates the 14th amendment of the federal constitution as well as federal and state laws and probably the constitution of Massachusetts.
This is South Africa, this is how the White peoples are treated there daily and far worse. This is coming to your country, your city, your town. pic.twitter.com/znf9aT15N4
The unspoken truth is that we know it will be a better party without the whites there. They are uptight and never know how to have fun. What are they going to do, listen to Simon and Garfunkel and play charades? Good lord.

Youre definitely too white. No way you get into their colored party

Your first point is a good one. With so many people in America of mixed races and ethnicities, it gets really muddled trying to fit everyone into a particular classification, but we still shoehorn everyone in one when filling out applications forms .
But I completely disagree that we should play the the identity politics game like the Dem's do. I really don't like the prison yard mentality that I see in discussions about society. Instead of dividing ourselves further by race, I'd much rather see us de-emphasize race.
Now that we have the laws that actually guarantee equal protection and rights for all, we should go back to thinking of ourselves as a united nation and emphasize what's good about our nation and all the people in it together.

First mayor we have had that's not from Boston.
Big mistake.
She is horrible on censorship, free speech, bodily autonomy
