Canadian Music Festival Staffer Dubbed 'Racist' After She Refuses To Move Back

Well, some people are really just sheep...
I am speechless...
*mega facepalm*

Halifax music festival apologizes for 'overt racism' after volunteer refuses to give spot near stage to women of colour
Lido Pimienta frequently asked her audience to welcome people of colour to the front of the stage. In turn, she requested that white people move back

So basically...White people at the show had to give up their seats for "Brown Women"....

Seems a bit fucked that they are crying racist over it

They are crying racist because the staff photographer refused to oblige the 'artist'.
And the festival apologizes for this!

If Nickleback was playing no one would complain about that since everyone would be so happy. Chad Kroger aka @Lars, is irresistible to ladies and gentlemen of all colors.

The photographer got called racist, or more precisely, her actions (refusing to move to the back) were considered racist and apparently angered the singer.

The festival apologized afterwards.

WTF?
That's like some reverse-reverse psychology shit.
So let me get this straight:
Singer says brown folks to the front and white folks to the back? To combat racism? With more racism? LMAO!
That's fucking dotarded.

Yep
It is retarded.
The worst part...most people in the crowd obliged.
Pc mentality has convinced them that this sort of thinking... the singer is right in asking this.
