| Brooklyn Museum Sparks Outrage After Hiring White Curator for African Art Exhibit |
| 2018-04-02 |
| [Breitbart] The Brooklyn Museum in New York City has sparked outrage among members of the black community after it selected a white woman to curate its African art exhibit. The museum announced Monday that it tapped Kristen Windmuller-Luna, 31, to be in charge of the museum’s African art collection. Luna earned a Ph.D. from Princeton University in African art history, worked for the Metropolitan Museum of Art as an educator "responsible for adult and college gallery tours" of the museum’s African galleries, and lectures at Columbia University. But despite the woman’s impressive credentials, social media users have been criticizing the museum for hiring her because she is not "a person of color." |

| #5 IMO, it's long past time to stop affirmative action dead - I just hope it's not too late. Posted by g(r)omgoru Affirmative Action is now well established and has become a multi-generational social practice. Ending it would turn artificial achievement on it's head. It would be difficult if not impossible to end. I doubt we'll see it terminated in our lifetimes. |

| #3 Capabilities and expertise are not requirements when talking about affirmative action. |

| #2 None of this should come as a surprise. Affirmative Action only recognizes the capabilities and expertise of entitlement candidates. All others need not apply. |
