Sorry to say that if you identify as black (looking at you, Shawn King), you already missed your segregated event.

Segregation is cool, y'all. As CRT teaches us, white people are harmful to be around.

Someone post a FAKE White Only graduation announcement to Twitter to see what happens....

curious why we don't have a white only ceremony then "to spread the value of inclusivity"?

As a Gen-Xer, I am still deeply disappointed in the progressive left. We were nearly there. We had all but purged real racism from our society and were mopping up the remaining sad remnants or were waiting for it to pass in into history, but that wasn't going to be politically useful for the radical left, so they had to revive racism.

Now Gen Z apoarently isbthe most racist and race focused group in 3 generations.

**** you, progressive left. **** you all for doing this to them, to all of us. Out of pure selfish greed.

"create a space for graduates who identify...."

clown world.

You say people of color, I say colored people, that's cool, as long as we are labeling them.....


True civil rights leaders from the 1950s and 1960s would be so appalled by all of this.

Bringing people together by segregating them.

Meh, they're not receiving their diplomas at these celebration as far as I can tell. Doesn't seem to be a big deal as it seems to be just a party celebrating graduates from these groups.

When comedy so closely resembles truth, it is hard to tell apart.

This dude is nails. He does a ton of political stuff that is really funny.

One of my meathead virtue signaling friends decided he was going to recognize the accomplishments of Latinx students at A&M by finding out when A&M started allowing Hispanics to be admitted and when did the first Hispanic student graduate from A&M.

He was sorely disappointed when he discovered the answers to his questions were in the 1800s.

Agree 100%, now organize a WHITE one and see what happens.

Then it will be a BIG Deal.

I thought we wanted everyone to be equal?

Kinda like they forget the support for the Texas revolution among the Hispanic Texians of the time.

It's mental.

It is reinforcing to these students, the idea that they overcame something due to the color of their skin, or their heritage.

It's worse than a participation trophy because their parents didn't even have to sign them up for the league and pay the registration fees. All they to do to achieve was to simply exist (I understand that for certain demographics, escaping abortion is somewhat of an achievement - but even then that's the mother's achievement, not the student.)

Now, if they want to have a separate graduation recognition for students who lived in a trailer park, or a low rent apartment, I could support that - as well as participate.

OP, this is just a way a huge school like A&M holds events for these specific groups of students to celebrate graduation together, with their families, separately from the overall commencement ceremony, where it would probably be inappropriate (and take very long) to do. The Latino graduation is bilingual (not sure about the others). They wouldnt do that at the main commencement. These events are celebratory for the accomplishments of these minority student groups and aren't taking away from anything else.

According to their FAQ its an additional/optional ceremony, not a replacement for the main graduation ceremony.

Except. It's by race.

You can have sorority-only housing. Now, try that with race.

Not exactly.

In today's climate where Western European "whiteness" is pushed as systemic oppressive racism, these celebrations promote race based factions rather than unity.

I can see that it is basically student groups, but the idea that they desire to racially self segregate is still deeply disappointing. It only emphasizes superficial an largely immaterial differences, and neglects the irony that even within these identity driven groups, the individuals there will be more different from each other than the same based on that single category of selection.

There are dozens of Hispanic nationalities and cultures and they often barely have a common cultural language, given varying dialects, as an example.

I won't say people can't associate with whom they please, but I will say it is disappointing to see how often the superficial category of race is once again chosen.

Stop being such a miserable person who sees the negative in everything. Let these students and their families enjoy this moment together.

Hi Larry. I'm definitely not miserable.

But I do see a growing tendency towards racial segregation in the US, and I find it alarming.

These events are just one part of the collage of new tribalism.

By the way, if you're a LATINX, do you pronounce it like "tinks"? Or like "ex"?

Oh look, it's not even exclusively for Latino students. Anyone can go.

Dont let this get in the way of the faux outrage about how oppressed whites at TAMU are, though.

Duh....get woke, go broke?!

So you are also ok with a whites only event?

I also flagged your ad hom. Hope you are banned for it.

I am certainly not suggesting whites are oppressed.

I am suggesting that segregation is harmful because it fractures society. This is something we all agreed on not too long ago.

And i'm saying it's literally NOT segregation. These events are in addition to the main graduation, not replacements. And anyone is welcome to go.

Nothing says "inclusivity" like an event that is 100% exclusive.

What this event says is "hey Juan, you did pretty good at college…..for a brown person."
