University’s Students of Color Conference Devolves Into ‘Oppression Olympics’
“a safe space gone wrong”
In the left’s hierarchy of oppressed groups, there’s always a struggle for dominance.

Students of Color Conference turns into ‘oppression Olympics,’ leads to fights, canceled sessions
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.
UCLA student Jacqueline Alvarez told The College Fix as much in a recent telephone interview, standing behind an op-ed she wrote in the Daily Bruin campus newspaper detailing the same.
She described the conference not only as an “oppression Olympics” but also “a safe space gone wrong” in her opinion article.
Ralph Washington, president of UC Student Association, which organized and hosted the conference, confirmed there were “tensions” at the mid-November gathering, and that its schedule was altered.
“The Students of Color Conference is always a space when tensions get a little high,” he said in a phone interview with The College Fix. “This mirrors that nature of our lived experiences. But this year there was a lot of harm thrown around to the various organizers, and some people came into the conference without understanding what the theme of the conference was. There are constructive things that we can do to prevent this happening in the future.”

“No, we’re more oppressed than you are!”
Farging idiots. Victimization Jeopardy.
Meanwhile, the students with real majors – regardless of color, sex, or orientation – go to their classes, or the library, back to their quarters to study alone, or the local coffee house for group study.
This mirrors that nature of our lived experiences.
Huh? Is she saying that they expect attendees to loot and riot?
How sweet it is. LOL
…There are constructive things that we can do to prevent this happening in the future.
I agree. Things like teaching students that a relentless search for victim status, grievance mongering, race baiting, and hypocritical moral posturing are not constructive.
