A city in Florida has said it was forced to cancel its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade due to anti-diversity laws.
The city of Delray Beach has also cancelled its Pride event in 2027 due to a state law signed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis that prohibits local governments from promoting or funding diversity initiatives.
The city said in a statement that restrictions under the law “include certain programming and activities designed or implemented with reference to ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”
Ethnic and cultural violence pre-dates white colonialism by centuries.
And white people are not the only imperial colonizers in history.
“White” itself is a modern concept that has only existed for a couple hundred years, was invented by racists, and has changed over time. My Irish ancestors who came to America were not considered white. The Nazi’s called the Japanese honorary whites. To suggest that colonialism is a “white” issue is both racist and factually incorrect.
