#1 Wow, they seem really serious. Guess they never want anymore of that evil white money again. Perhaps they can taste of the oppression by daily beatdowns or having themselves broken on the wheel. I mean, lets carry this moronic play out to the nth degree of stupidity.

#2 Those dang white people! Always going around inventing art and science and civilization and cable tv and Doritos(tm) and the aqueduct. They're irrepressible!

#3 It's like 1930es Germany - with Jews running own persecutions.

#5 a bunch of guys beating on logs with sticks isn't quite as thrilling as the 1812 Overture

#6 Well, opera can be considered a crime against humanity...

#7 Not included in the apologia are mass resignations and closing their own arts council down.

#9 ^ Indeed it does. I don't want to be prejudiced but every time something like this happens I have to judge it and, after a while, the judgments have a tendency to come first because of all the experiences that went beforehand.

#10 But then, I supposed with the way things are going in our educational system, we could just as easily have some little snowflake spouting the same nonsense.

#11 #9 Prejudice from Latin praeiudicium "prior judgment" (judgment based on prior experience). For example:
"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then (I) look around and see someone white and feel relieved." - Rev. Jesse Jackson

#12 I live in a Charlotte suburb and am happy to say I stopped contributing to the ASC over 10 years ago (after a change in ownership in my employer deemphasized the importance of supporting them.)

#13 Merriam-Webster definition of "prejudice" includes preconceived judgment or opinion. (2) an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge
No prior experience of any kind is necessary to form & hold a "prejudice". My mother experienced a great deal of prejudice in her time and used that term instead of "racism". She didn't believe in "races" anyway. She recognized the politically driven part of "racis" discourse and didn't want to propagate the error more than it has been.

#14 I must confess I have a prejudice against the practices of torture and cannibalism despite my lack of experience with same.

#15 Grampaw, old bean, please notice I focused on the original Roman definition.

#16 Like "decimation" morphed, people say "prejudiced" when they really mean bigoted.

#18 Prejudice? I never got burned in Chemistry Class -- I assumed all glassware was hot. Stereotypes are a survival tool, being too bigoted to change your perception in a specific case is not.
