Students of Color Conference Results in ‘Oppression Olympics’, by Tom Knighton.

For those of us opposed to the social justice warriors and their desire to pretend everything is the fault of white men, it’s easy to look at the opposition as a near monolithic group focused on destroying anything we hold dear simply because we hold it dear. …

This year’s University of California Students of Color Conference unproductively devolved into something of an “oppression Olympics” between different minority groups, prompting arguments between participants and ultimately leading to some canceled sessions at the annual event. …

Students of different minority groups began arguing when it became known that the conference would focus almost exclusively on discrimination against the African American community.

In one of the larger workshops, one of the students raised a question about why the only issues being discussed were those involving anti-blackness, prompting an African-American student to respond that black students are the most oppressed, to which a Muslim student made a comment about her people being bombed in the Middle East …

The conflicts resulted in the second day of the conference being canceled.
