The way I see it, there's a good and bad way to react to the N-word. Instantly acting hostile at the mention of the N-word just justifies that label.If niggers don't want to be considered as animals, all they have to do is to stop behaving like animals.
The opera company has said it’s prioritising “increased diversity in the orchestra” in line with “firm guidance of the Arts Council.”
English Touring Opera (ETO) has dropped half of its orchestral players in a push for diversity.
At least 14 musicians have been told they will not be booked for the 2022 ETO tour, many of them long-running members of the orchestra.
The ETO has attributed the changes to prioritising “increased diversity in the orchestra,” something that’s in line with “firm guidance of the Arts Council.”
“There has been an understandable outcry from Musicians Union members in response to this news today,” the Musicians Union (MU) wrote in a statement on Friday (10 September). “It comes at an especially devastating time for the freelance community, and musicians in general, with so many struggling with little work and income during the COVID-19 crisis.”
In their response, the MU describes being “appalled” by the ETO’s decision and outlines that, “while the MU lauds efforts to increase diversity in the workplace, the Union is adamant this should be achieved fairly and legitimately, not by ‘sacking’ half an orchestra.”
Musicians are hired by the ETO as freelancers, so can be dropped from the opera season-on-season, but many have played with the company for many years so consider it a permanent fixture.
The Arts Council, which provides funding to the ETO, has responded by saying that they did not advise the opera company to fire musicians as part of their work to increase diversity in classical music.
“We did not instruct the English Touring Opera to send this letter,” the Arts Council has said. “We are now in conversation with ETO to ensure no funding criteria have been breached.”
The ETO announced hiring 12 new artists in the freelance orchestra for the spring 2022 tour on Friday.
“Following a recent round of auditions, we are looking forward to welcoming 12 new artists to our freelance orchestra for our spring 2022 tour,” the opera company announced.
“We hope that you will welcome these musicians to your towns and cities, and enjoy the musical qualities they will bring to this production.”
They did say, “This means that there may be musicians with whom you may be more familiar from ETO performances who will not be with us on this particular tour.
“We want to thank them for the seasons they have toured with the company and for the collective contributions they have made to ETO’s success over the years.”
This sounds like straightforward a case of discrimination. I get that they are freelancers but the person in charge has openly stated that they were fired or not hired for being wrong race, gender and sexuality. That's what diversity means to these people, less straight white cismen.

Now I'm not an expert on Buddhist history but I think the first statue of the Buddha was made by Greeks that arrived after the conquests of Alexander, those Greeks made the Buddha look like a Greek man, because that's what we humans generally do, when we represent a deity that looks like a human we made them look like us, because it's easy to understand, that's why black and asian Jesus are a thing, because Christian churches in Africa and Asia represent make him look like them.View attachment 2539861
I... wow.
Amusing that they're so pissed, but you have to understand -- as Cultural Maoists, they already "fixed" She-Ra, so this is inherently a waste of time in their eyes. Worse, it might actually undo their fixes, making this completely unacceptable. All things must be changed to serve their ends or destroyed so disgusting wrongthinkers can't enjoy it.
Maybe they should join the black Hebrew IsraelitesView attachment 2539861
I... wow.
Looking forward to those diverse musicians bringing their traditional instruments. The Indians can bring the sitar, the Africans can bring sticks and rocks, and the Pakis and Muslims can bring sullen silences and a backpack bomb for the after-parties.English Touring Opera drops half its orchestra in controversial move, citing ‘increased diversity’

They aren't the smartest bunch, I know.
I went through the same deal when the local fag bridgade was pissy about having cops at a pride parade. "Oh, last time they kept us separate from the Nazi gay haters, with them gone we can kick the shit out of the evil white supremacists!" Not a single stray thought about how a wispy shemale Twink would fare against a standard human male with normal testosterone levels. Absolutely insane.
Or with Rittenhouse when I pointed out he was an example of a community policing itself.
The point is that they seek power and validation, not moral or logical consistency.
You didn’t need to post this twice on two separate threads
I applaud you for both using "geas" correctly and making me realize what an apt comparison this is.Is there any voice in the black community that gets that black people selecting their own Kryptonite in word form is like, weak and ruinous to them? Like what if I told you you never had to select any magical power word for others to use against you at all? You could just LOL and move on. Instead you created your own geas, any time someone not black says “nigger” you have infected your people with the meme that they have to writhe in emotional agony and of course act out in some extreme fashion in response.
Why do all that when you could just...not? I mean I know the answer is, it’s about power and controlling other people in petty ways since you cannot accomplish anything significant. So you have to complain about the word nigger and about anyone not black wearing braids or dancing on TikTok. That is the level y’all operate on.
This isn’t a brain drain, these are all struggle session officers either being booted as they become problematic for the district, or sensing the winds of change themselves and GTFO to some sort of think tank or similar advocacy role, moving the grift around a bit.
This is like saying waah, this chemotherapy has rid the patient of so many cancer cells.
They will never, ever, forgive the foookkin whyte male gamers for being the first group to tell them, the most holy on high woke elite, the high priests of their own farts, that no, they didn't have a moral mandate to order them around and that they could kindly fuck off.
