Here's some intersectionality for ya: racial bigotry and snowflake-ism

Here's the story:

San Diego State University is set to host a “Racial Healing Workshop” for minority students and faculty later this month that aims to help students and professors of color get through college and career life.
“This intimate one and a half hour Racial Healing Workshop catered to students and faculty of color will be led by well-known professional Dr. Cheryl E. Matias,” state the student organizers of the event, the Marriage and Family Therapy Association, a recognized student organization under the College of Education.
“She will provide a safe space for students and faculty of color to discuss issues that impact persons of color in higher academia,” the event’s online description states. “Dr. Matias will facilitate group healing and she will provide tools to help POC [people of color] navigate racialized spaces such as higher education and professional fields.”
Now, let's consider some of the layers of ridiculousness and insidiousness involved here.

There's the cost. I'll bet Dr. Matias doesn't come cheap. Who's paying her fee?  The whole diversity-privilege-inclusion-hustling industry has everything to do with the stratospheric cost of tuition at these indoctrination centers / playpens.

There's that term "healing" in the name of the workshop. Doesn't "racial healing" imply that at least two races are going to get together and heal whatever is supposedly a problem between them? If whites are excluded from this pow-wow, the term healing takes on a bit of a navel-gazing connotation, does it not? As if the attendees are wounded somehow and need to mend, like hospital patients.

Then there's the pattern of a lie at the core of everything leftists are foisting on society. Just as with trying to peddle the fiction that the global climate is in some kind of trouble, or that health care can somehow be a right, or that there can be more than two genders, this hustle is predicated that there are "racialized spaces" in the general world of making a living.

I'd say that anyone who attends this workshop and takes its garbage premise to heart is someone I'll be fine being excluded by should we ever meet, because he / she / it would be such an insufferable twit that interaction would just do further harm to my estimation of humanity in its present condition in general.

An interesting occurrence just now: while typing this post, spell check changed "racialized" to "radicalized," and when I overrode its decision, it put the red line under what I typed. "Racialized" is a made-up term.
