The row centres around the exhibition 'This is Colonialism' and the museum's decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display

Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.

The row centres around the exhibition 'This is Colonialism' and the museum's decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition

The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.

'Equally applicable' is not 'equally bad'. Jesus Christ, I can't believe I have to explain this to another human being.

Oh sod right off.

If you know they're not equally bad, then you understand they're different because of context.

So you asking me:

So you would regard this argument as likewise applicable to whites-only events, right?

Is not only an obvious "gotcha" but you know it's an obvious "gotcha".

'Different' does not mean 'not bad'. "This is bad" does not mean "This is as bad as all other crimes of this principle", it means "this is bad".

Is not only an obvious "gotcha" but you know it's an obvious "gotcha".

In what fucking way is asking you to acknowledge that racial exclusion is, at its core, bad, a 'gotcha'?
