Too many whites attend campus concerts, says Oberlin College newspaper columnist. "Black students and students of color are feeling uncomfortable at concerts because of their white peers."

Kayla Kim, the author, is a college freshman. She's got all the insights of a recent high school graduate.

Making excuses for disgusting people again. WTF is with this account?

Wow, that line never gets old.

It's because you keep playing defense for the worst in society. People are noticing a pattern. It's baffling - who would do this of their own free will?

I mean some people on here defend you so clearly the bar is on the floor for most of us.

You neither addressed nor refuted the point.

OMG, he heavily implied the girl's an idiot. How is that playing defense.

Making excuses for disgusting people

Jesus, I've said it three times now

I'd call that a jab at that person for being an idiot, not making excuses at all. You could try to improve your reading comprehension, but I won't make excuses for you.

The account has a consistent pattern of playing defense for utterly disgusting people. Including pedophiles.

You're absolutely full of shit.

Give me an example of him defending a pedophile.

He was making an observation that the author is clearly immature and lacking real world experience. Do you disagree? WTF is your problem?

[–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, like I said: making excuses for disgusting people. It's a pattern with this account.

Interesting. "Too many whites attend campus concerts"

"Not effort attendees to campus concerts to warrant having campus concerts"
Surprised Pikachu Face

I've seen this argument throughout the arts.

Black people don't come because they don't feel welcome.

I've gotten very many free tickets for shows targeted at black people which then didn't sell enough seats so it suits me.

I've seen black actors tearing their hair out because they can't get their own families to take an interest in theater and they will only go to see stuff their relative is in.

The plain fact is that theater and concert going and is part of European culture and you can't force other people to enjoy it just because you view it as a high status activity you want a piece of.

For instance when asked their favourite activity 50% of londoners said going to the theater. This just isn't normal behaviour across the world.
