| Canada's University of Waterloo Offers Blacks-Only Swim Hour |
| 2024-02-03 |
[Breitbart] The University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, has launched a segregated pool activity called “Black Folx Swim,” which expressly excludes participation by non-black swimmers. “The aim is to get more Black Folx into a space where they haven’t always been welcomed, while providing them the opportunity to learn swimming skills,” the school’s website states. Swimming lessons are taught exclusively by “experienced black swimmers/instructors,” the site adds, noting that the segregated pool time “is dedicated to building a better relationship with water for the Black community.” Not content with bringing back racial segregation, the University of Waterloo — a Canadian public university — has also created a regular pool time for winter 2024 that excludes heterosexuals. “Trans and Non-binary programming aims to provide a safer, comfortable, inclusive, and fun atmosphere for trans and non-binary and the 2SLGBTQ+ community,” the school declares about its swim program. As in the case of the black swimmers-only pool time, the LGBT+ program “will be delivered and/or supervised by a [sic] members or allies of the aforementioned community.” The university does make one concession to heterosexuals, saying they are “welcome if participating with trans or non-binary persons.” Otherwise, heterosexuals are asked to “please respect this space and come at another time when space is open to all users.” |

| #7 The African Canadian minority is under served probably because there used to not be many of them. Trudeau has flooded the country with immigrants but none of the new comers will be descendants of American slaves although slavery exists in Africa to this day. In short, this will benefit a few people and maybe some Pakistanis and Somalians can get some laps in as well |

| #5 Y'all better have an abundance of lifeguards ready. Uh, yeah, that's gonna be a problem. We could get white people who know how to swim, but that is White Supremacy and reinforces the White Savior Complex, so no. Hispanics, maybe? No, they have a similar non-swimming reputation - according to the U.S.A. Swimming Foundation, 70 percent of African-American children and 60 percent of Hispanic children don't know how to swim. Maybe life-saving robots... |
