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.

In one of the larger workshops, one of the students raised a question about why the only issues being discussed were those involving anti-blackness, prompting an African-American student to respond that black students are the most oppressed, to which a Muslim student made a comment about her people being bombed in the Middle East, according to Alvarez.
This exchange, and others like it, resulted in the cancellation of several sessions on the second day of the conference, Alvarez said. Above all, conference participants each wanted to focus on their own particular minority issue, she said.
Some of the participants claimed they were "traumatized" by the event and demanded apologies from the organizers.

LOL I always say the democrat's 'people of color' alliance is a phony ploy for a voting block and they have nothing in common and don't even like each other.

Sounds like they didn't provide enough crayons and coloring books. You know what they say about idle hands...

A rumble between minorities, with one side yelling about black privilege and the other side telling them to check their brown privilege at the door? LMAO.

Wait until they see the **** storm that takes place at the White Privilege Conference.

I enjoyed meeting all kinds of different people from all over the world, and dorm parties when I was there (UCLA)

I was born in 1985 and I don't think we had something like this before.

Most would quickly defer to blacks and cede the top oppressed position to them, but I'm not surprised to see Muslims putting up a fight.
