[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, it is not just writing, although it can definitely be seen there.  In music, there are no new white male conductors in the US or Europe, and spots for new white male musicians in orchestras and symphonies are non-existent.

I don't think this administration will, is capable of, fixing this.  But at least they noticed it's a problem.[/quote]

A lot of orchestras have switched to blind auditions, so I’m not sure what point you are tying to prove exactly. That without affirmative action, white men aren’t getting the spots they used to get and presumptions of superiority they used to get simply by virtue of being white? Not quite the “problem” you are making it out to be. [/quote]

Principals are selected by committee, not blind audition.

Locking white men out of the arts was fine on January 19th, supported by everyone.  Now it is not.

It's hard enough to be an artist.  We should support all them, not just POC LGBTQIA+, and women artists. [/quote]

Kind of weird to assume that white guys are being disadvantaged because they are no longer the de facto winner in every competition. People who aren’t straight white males can also be capable leaders and have the sort of star power that excites donors and sells tickets. Everyone there has the chops.

Just because white guys used to systematically exclude everyone who wasn’t a white guy from consideration doesn’t mean people are getting even. But I could understand how equality might feel like oppression when you’re used to privilege. [/quote]

You can understand how funny this is  when DCUM was overjoyed at Hillary talking about "deprogramming MAGA".

The 180 that has resulted IRL couldn't happen to a more deserving group. Enjoy your just desserts.[/quote]
