I agree there are some examples of over-compensation, but to inflate these occurrences to a "massive anti-white" really makes you "non-woke*" - that's like saying EDL and BNP marches are representative of the majority of people in the UK.


*thank you, Sephiroth...

1) Not just Fox news reporting it.
2) It WASN'T FOX News that uncovered it.
From the article

Christopher F. Rufo, an editor for City Journal and director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, said he filed a public records request regarding the training session. On Monday, he published copies of the materials distributed to employees in the session on his Twitter account.

3) The event was REAL.
4) Everything is being ludicrously blamed on White people.

Countryfile has sparked a debate on racism with a story suggesting people from the BAME community feel unwelcome in the countryside.
Last night, the BBC show aired a piece fronted by Dwayne Fields in which he investigated a report by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
The report, published last year, focused on how people from black, Asian or minority ethnic communities as well as white people felt the UK's national parks are very much a "white environment".
During the segment, Dwayne explained: "When I talk to people from the BAME community, it's clear that they don't view the UK countryside as somewhere that's for them.

5) "Just one example" does not meant there aren't THOUSANDS of others.
Just try searching for the term "affinity caucus".

We facilitate transformational shifts between people and in communities; families, neighborhoods, schools, organizations, or religious/ spiritual spaces where there has been racialized harm and cultural conflict. We dissect whiteness and white culture and support a collective shift towards accountability, integrity and love.

From 2012.

Racial affinity group meetings, or caucuses, can be effective tools for human service agencies to address cultural responsiveness or shift their organizational paradigm toward antiracism. The development of such caucuses is seldom undertaken, however, often due to concerns about resources and the difficulty of envisioning the concrete benefits. This article describes the formation, implementation, and functioning of a White antiracism caucus, facilitated by the authors, in a large social service agency.

White people and people of color each have work to do separately and together. Caucuses provide spaces for people to work within their own racial/ethnic groups. For white people, a caucus provides time and space to work explicitly and intentionally on understanding white culture and white privilege and to increase one’s critical analysis around these concepts. A white caucus also puts the onus on white people to teach each other about these ideas, rather than constantly relying on people of color to teach them. For people of color, a caucus is a place to work with their peers on their experiences of internalized racism, for healing and to work on liberation.
