The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display

Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.

The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition

The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.

    Ok, so? They arent treated differently. They are just not allowed to access a certain space at a certain time because the business owners said so.
    Can they now not get a job because they couldnt access the space at that certain time?
    Thats not treatment. Thats just business.

      “They arent treated differently.”

      “They are just not allowed to access a certain space at a certain time”

      That’s called being treated differently… I really don’t know what else to say.

      Can they now not get a job because they couldnt access the space at that certain time?

      Can a Cheetah run really fast? What relevance does that have to anything?

          What! You support Child Slavery?!

          See, I can also make up imaginary strawman arguments. You reason like a five-year-old.

            You dont even reason. you just keep repeating the same argument you had 2 posts ago.
            Its not discrimination. youre not missing out on anything. you just cannot access a safe space for bipoc. you can also not enter any womens shelters. are you now arguing that you are being discriminated against for being the wrong gender?

              you just keep repeating the same argument

              There is only one argument. Whether or not this is discrimination. You just plainly say it isn’t because “they [White people] aren’t being treated differently” with absolutely no justification for that claim. How can you not see that’s just plainly nonsense? There wouldn’t be a controversy if that was the case. This article wouldn’t exist if that was the case. I suspect you are confused because you are thinking “discrimination” is something else. Maybe English is your second language or something but I did post the definition…

              Everything else you bring up about women’s shelters and not being able to get a job and the “WhItE PeOpLe ArE sO OpPrEsSeD!” talking point are just red herrings that have no bearing on anything I said. I’m blocking you because I’m wasting my time replying to you spelling all this out, have a nice day.
