Why do people think racism works like noise cancelling?

If you’re racist the “other way”, it doesn’t cancel out the initial racism, it just creates more racism.

    The idea that racism can be good is very strange. “I’m going to be racist, but for a good cause” doesn’t fit well.

    I get the goal was to encourage Tangata Moana to attend, but it is in effect a disincentive to the “allies” because they are being punished.

    The fact that there is tiered pricing for other things doesn’t excuse this behavior. It turns out that Students/Youth/Elderly are different than Maori/White/Pasifika.
