A little shoe polish, and problem solved
Pogo was right!
They don’t demand more “Diversity”, they demand less White people. If those choirs were all Black they wouldn’t say a word.
better to be born a half black, half American indian, female with a birth defect, and slight learning disability than a future Einstein white guy,.
Actual performance, of course, must be placed low on the list of priorities.
They used to put musicians behind screens to prevent bias in selection, so that the judges couldn’t decide based on gender, skin color or age.
Now we’re going back to the “bad old days”.
I hate stuff like this. I was watching the Olympics marathon and all the good runner were from East Africa, how about we tie bricks to their shoes so that Chinese and Ukrainian runners can outrun them? You know, for diversity.
Diversity should mean that nobody is excluded or forbidden to participate based on race, religion etc. It should not mean a guaranteed place regardless of merit.
Most symphony orchestras begger the whole world for money. And go bankrupt on a sneeze. And rely heavily on the good will of philanthropists. (usually white)
(No, Moochele and BeeHOe are NOT in that group. They are in the group that believes musicians, “didn’t get there by themselves” and so should spread the wealth by donating their talents to the public at large.)
Wonder if they worry about “diversity” amongst their “donors?”
Maybe someone should remind them that the “majority” of their deep pocket “donors” are NOT “minorities.”
“Animal Farm” is becoming a daily way of life in this f**ked up country. I’m seriously considering just walking away from it all....becoming an expat. I’m serious.
But we have a genuine oxymoron here ==> Classical Music vs African Americans.

I mean...it’s Cobb County, what can you expect?
Makes you wonder though, how many future Democrats there were in that choir that are now seeing the light and leaning more and more conservative?
Diversity my butt — how freaking diverse is the ASO? Bet it’s all Asian and Caucausian.
