A pair of Arizona diversity, equity and inclusion 'experts' have been blasted for falsely accusing an African-American DJ of wearing blackface at an event.
Jill Lassen and Stuart Rhoden, who advocate for diversity at the Scottsdale Unified School District in various capacities, wrote scathing letters of complaint after DJ Kim Koko Hunter appeared at a PTA event, and they mistook him for a white man.
Stuart and Rhoden have since apologized, with some noting the irony of 'diversity and inclusion' activists rushing to such false conclusions.
But Rhoden also sought to double down on his initial allegation, and speculated as to whether Hunter may have used cosmetic products to make his skin appear darker.
'When you are so hell bent on pointing out everyone as a racist, only to uncover yourself as the racist,' one person tweeted.
This would have been a more likely scenario in Canada.
"In a Facebook post last week, he apologized to 'dude' for the mistake, only to then double-down and suggest that Hunter was wearing makeup to make himself look darker.
'Let me be clear, a Black man, apparently in Black face is an entirely different discussion than a White person. However I did not state that the person was White."
OMG, shut up. You can't apologize your way out of this level of ignorant racism. The more he says the worse it gets.
Yeah, he should have admitted he's a moron and called it a day.
That woke BS doesn't fly in Europe. Would never happen.
