[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not okay for a government agency to make disparaging remarks about any race, full stop. At best the wording was clumsy. An apology or at least clarification is in order[/quote]

You're right, but DC is doing this now. I think the discourse surrounding vaccination was another recent example. We had government officials openly demonizing groups of eligible citizens for actually doing exactly what they were supposed to do to sign up for appointments, but the language used to justifying cutting off parts of the city from a shared resource made them sound like monsters.

It's a scary trend and I think DC needs to get the strong message that yes, they are responsible for providing city services to ALL their citizens.[/quote]

LOL. Limiting whitening is not a disparaging remark. Limiting white privilege is not a bad thing for a district to do, I'm actually quite surprised they worded it the way they did.
But of course all the commenters getting angry about the wording are those who don't believe in white privilege, don't care, or just ignorant.[/quote]

Of course it is disparaging. Stop your gaslighting.[/quote]

We are tired of white privilege being the norm. I'm sorry Martha but it's seriously time.[/quote]
