Writing Conference Canceled on Account of Whiteness

It would be racist to have a writing conference if almost all the writers who agree to attend turn out to be lousy white people. Oh well, you can always just cancel the conference:

A Minnesota writing conference was canceled Wednesday after people complained about the lack of diversity in the line-up of writers that were going to attend.

The organizers of the Loft Literary Center’s conference, aimed at teaching people how to write young adult novels, scrapped their plans when they learned that all the speakers but one were white, reports the Star Tribune.

There was no point holding the conference because teaching people how to write was not the objective; on contrary:

“We have set a goal for ourselves to be inclusive and to work toward equity, and we didn’t think the conference would live up to that mission,” Britt Udesen, executive director of the Loft, said Wednesday.

Equity and diversity — i.e., oligarchical collectivism and the progressive eradication of the white man and his culture — are the mission of everything in fields dominated by liberals.

More than 30 people of color had been invited to speak at the conference who declined the invitation.

A gaming conference also ran into a similar problem last year. The University of Southern California canceled its game design program because all the speakers were men.

Some enterprising capitalist ought to start up a business that rents out persons of politically preferred pigmentation and gender for events like this, so they can meet their quotas and don’t have to cancel events due to the whiteness of participants.
