Ivy League school defends rock-climbing class that singles out non-white students

[SyLent]

Cornell University offered the rock-climbing course "for people who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other people of color."


How would it look if they offered it only to WHITES?

Sorry racist bot but the course is open to everyone. It even says so on the course listing.

"The class is open to all Cornell students interested in learning rock climbing with this special focus."

You'll also note on the course listing it says nothing about "for people who identify". You made that part up because you're a racist.

Your link don't work buddy. How's that racism going for you?

Also, I'm curious what's the difference between a private university saying a class is only for people of color and a bakery saying wedding cakes are only for straight people? If both are private why can a bakery refuse to bake a cake for a couple and the right is ok with it and when a university says something is for black people the right isn't ok with it?

I mean it could be because the right is full of racists and bigots but that would just be a wild guess.

 

[dan_c00000]

How do you know you've owned the right wingers so hard? When they can't even bother trying to come up with a non-racist, non-bigoted response despite average 20+ posts a day.

Maybe because the only interaction someone would have with a bakery is a one-time service where no legal contract has been established as opposed to a university where everyone has been accepted as a student and is paying presumably the same tuition?

Racist supporters of racist policies don't deserve to be treated honestly. Especially those who can't read but pretend to understand the issue.

Clearly you've never actually ordered something from a bakery. Go and place an order for a wedding cake and see how much paperwork you have to fill out.

Also, you didn't actually answer my question: why is it ok to discriminate in one instance but not the other? Can you patronage a bakery multiple times? Sure can. Sorry try again.

So you don't have answer cool. We'll just close this thread down now it's getting too racist.

Of course! You're here.

Clearly, my point went well over your head.

When bakeries require a person to apply, be accepted, pay tens of thousands of dollars, AND be a member of the "bakery community" for the ability to take advantage of their offerings, you MIGHT have a point worth considering.

Works fine for me.

It's not the RW that has a problem with it.

It's the LW that has a problem with it, but only sometimes.

See lefties ONLY have a problem when other people they don't like do it.

But it's totally 100% ok when they do it!!!! Racial dissemination is PROGRESS when they do it!!

I mean it could be because the right is full of racists and bigots but that would just be a wild guess.

Again, it's not the right wing who is INSISTANT on discriminating against people based upon their skin color.

It's you woke leftist who are all supportive and advocating that.

Clearly, my point went well over your head.

No....it's not a community it's a private bidnizz.

It's goods and services, one offers baked goods the other offers education.

And you support one being racist in ways YOU support but not the other.

Right. My point is he's trying to compare apples to oranges. I'm being sarcastic to refute his simplistic argument.

Bakeries are open to the general public, and require no process to enter their doors, yet can set policies and procedures as a private entity.

A university, by its own standards, is already private in regards to who it allows to take classes.

His premise is flawed. Completely flawed.

I suppose so.

I don't think there really should be a difference in the two though.

They're both businesses that lean on public infrastructure and in the case of Universities, receive public funds.

If racism is ok for one of them, why not both??

U.S. Code Title 42, Chapter 21-Civil Rights
Title 42, Chapter 21 of the U.S. Code prohibits discrimination against persons based on age, disability, gender, race, national origin, and religion (among other things) in a number of settings - including education, employment, public accommodations, federal services, and more. Chapter 21 is where a number of federal acts related to civil rights have been codified - including the Civil Rights Act of 1866, Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.

The school accepts government money on the condition it comply with all federal civil rights legislation, which bars discrimination on the basis of, among other things, race.
