[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I know this an unpopular thing to say but I’m also a “marginalized person of color” whose group is under some scrutiny at the moment. I’m not a fan of this type of segregation either. Either we are fully a part of society or we are not. My preference is that we are. That said, I don’t think it’s illegal. [/quote]

Op here and that’s how I feel too. I believe it’s actually detrimental to have ‘well meaning’, but segregated classes. But what do I know, I’m just a “marginalized person of color”. I’ll just sit back read the room and let the white people tell me what’s best for me. They know best.[/quote]

What if the class is for "survivors of racism by white people"?  All survivors welcome.[/quote]

What if men wanted to have a class to talk about being victims in today's society. Cool or no?[/quote]

Absolutely! It’s called ‘your average board room’.  Also called the average Senior pastor of your local church.  See also, quite a few unions.   Check out many many sports bars.  You could also try your local barber….  And finally, if you use a basic google search you will find various and sundry men’s groups.Good luck, pp![/quote]
