[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you want to go to a class that’s created for marginalzied people of color if you are not part of that group?[/quote]
My question was about the legality of offering classes that excluded one or two racial groups.

Way to make assumptions. To answer your question, I am part of the “marginalized people of color” and one class that would work for me and my White husband, isn’t available to him.

And as a marginalized person of color, I would be offended if there was a class that was not open to me. But it appears to be legal, so I’ll either not take the class or wait until one opens up that works for our schedule.[/quote]
Interesting choice for you to jump straight to ‘legality’ questions.  You could have asked if a non person of color would be welcome, you could have asked how best to approach the offerer of the class….

You chose to go straight for the ‘stick’ that legality implies.  Thats a bigger assumption than I made.

Read the room OP, in this climate organizations are getting sued for even attempting to serve minority populations.  Your question doesn’t exist in a vacuum.[/quote]

Why not just call the business and ask, "I'm [Native American] and my husband is white; could we attend the Wednesday class together?  It's the only time that works for us."  [/quote]
