A minority person using racial derogatory terms on La council?

I am shocked, shocked I tell you to hear that a non white minority person is racially insensitive!

They need to be sent to rcaial sensitivity classes. Just like those bigoted white guys..., yes sarcasm.


LOS ANGELES — President Biden joined a growing chorus on Tuesday calling for the resignation of three Democratic politicians in the nation’s second-largest city, after a leaked audio recording revealed racist and disparaging remarks made by the City Council president in a meeting last year. Scores of angry protesters disrupted a council meeting as the episode exposed painful racial fault lines in the diverse and heavily Democratic city.

The details:

  • In the profanity-laced recording, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times and which was first reported by The Los Angeles Times on Sunday, Councilwoman Nury Martinez, who is Latina, compared the Black child of a white council member to a “changuito,” Spanish for little monkey. She also called Oaxacan immigrants living in Koreatown “short little dark people.”
  • The remarks occurred during a meeting of Ms. Martinez with two other council members, Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León, and the head of one of Los Angeles County’s most powerful labor organizations. That official, Ron Herrera, resigned late Monday.
  • Ms. Martinez stepped down as council president on Monday and said on Tuesday that she would take a leave of absence. But she stopped short of resigning from the council, despite calls for her and the two other members to do so from Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles, both of the candidates running to replace him, President Biden and many other prominent Democratic officials. Mr. Biden’s spokeswoman called the language used on the tape “unacceptable” and “appalling.”
 
There have been hyper-sensitive people for a few decades now.
I absolutley agree with this. In the past it was folks on the right who were the pearl clutchers. The pendulum has swung to the progressives who bray that certain subjects not be lampooned.
 
Funny thing about "woke"
The Woke are the greatest threat to humor.
Yes, the woke conservative is the greatest threat to humor and all other forms of entertainment. 100+ years prove that. Humor, dance, music, art... always threatened by the woke conservative.
Yeah, go talk to Dave Chapelle and Ricky Gervais.
Wow. Two names.

I guess that erases 100+ years of anti-media attacks by conservatives.
Hey. The church ladies of old are the Woke of today. Like, when is the last time you’ve heard of conservatives offended, boycotting, for a comedy routine? And how about the Woke?

I noticed Oleg never addressed this post.

Yeah, the alt-right woke pissing on about a black Annie, a female lead in Star Wars, a female Dr. Who, boycotting the NFL over kneeling... yeah... all in the past.

Black dwarves... You forgot black dwarves. Technically that's "in the past" too, and to be fair boring as shit, but hey, that's just last month we had some moaning about black dwarves brought up.
 
LA City council is a circus;

The Los Angeles City Council meeting devolved into chaos Tuesday when embattled Councilman Kevin de León walked into the chamber and took his seat, prompting some of his colleagues to walk out of the room and generating shouts of protest from activists demanding his resignation. It was the council's first meeting featuring five new members, and City Clerk Holly Wolcott struggled to get the boisterous crowd under control as she tried to convene the session so a council president could be selected. She ordered one protester -- who repeatedly shouted "Arrest KDL" -- to be ejected from the council chamber.

ABC News

Kevin de León was confronted by an activist the other day and the two of them got into a fist fight, video is available. I have a certain amount of respect for Kevin de León for standing his ground and not resigning because a bunch of mouthy activists say he should.
