Saanich is adding to its progressive values by offering free arts classes to only people of colour. White students will be forbidden from participating, and are expected to attend other classes, and pay the appropriate fees.




BIPOC youth ceramics workshop coming to Saanich

A free ceramics workshop for BIPOC youth will be available at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre in April.

Talented artist and teacher, Suvreet Juhal, will lead the workshop, aimed at youth aged 12 to 18.

“When you look at examples of ceramics, it tends to be European works that are mostly highlighted,” Juhal said. “Bringing BIPOC youth into what can feel like a very dominantly white space helps open up that avenue of art exploration.”

Diversity is a strength will continue until morale improves!

Since when are ceramics predominantly European? Most of what I see are anything but.

Reverse racism is still racism.

Excuse me, but are you a raceologist to make that assertion?

Reverse racism is still racism.

 

According to some members of this forum racism doesn't exist, so therefore reverse racism doesn't exist either.

All of us on the forum know racism exists. Many of us do not believe it’s still overtly built into our social systems and structures.

Racism exists and needs to be called out.  Racism is also being used as a tool / threat by some to further their agenda, which also needs to be called out.
