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.
Its always fun watching social justice warriors actively work against each other when it comes to promoting diversity. At the annual Students of Color Conference at the University of California Irvine campus last month, it got real when multiple "diverse" groups of minorities all clashed over who was the most oppressed.
It sounds like the problem was more in the theme of the conference not having been adequately communicated. If was to be solely about blacks then it should have been UC Black Students Conference, and the other groups would have known it wasn't for them. Given everyone is fighting to be deemed more oppressed than everyone else, it is understandable that other groups didn't want to cede that prize to blacks.
No...they are Asians. Orange County is home to the third-largest Asian community in the U.S. Over 45% of the residents of the city of Irvine are Asians.
Asians value education and UCI reflects that. It's educating a LOT of Asians to be tomorrows doctors and engineers and teachers. It's also educating LGBT, straight white Protestants, blacks, Muslims and atheists. Great school. Diverse student body. It produces educated people who contribute to society.

"......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......"
A real "vicitms" circle jerk, lol.
I would have paid to see those nut jobs trying to out-victimize each other. What a hoot.
