Who wants to bet that until now all those opera musicians were praising diversity initiatives online.

In their response, the MU describes being “appalled” by the ETO’s decision and outlines that, “while the MU lauds efforts to increase diversity in the workplace, the Union is adamant this should be achieved fairly and legitimately, not by ‘sacking’ half an orchestra.”

lol

I thought it was a Touring Opera, not a Soap Opera. You don't get to change your character just because the season changes, Operettos.

Get a-woke, go baroque.

Supply and fucking demand idiots. They're demanding diversity with a limited supply of spots. Did they honestly think they'd make the orchestra bigger or something?

Useful idiots got what they deserved. What the fuck did they think was going to happen?

Did they think the orchestra was just going to get bigger and bigger and make make room for all the new brown people without any of them getting thrown out?

Or did they think those in charge would be content to sit around and wait 40 years for them to retire before they replaced them?

They asked for white people to be replaced, and white people got replaced. That's what your pathological altruism gets you.

They'll probably just continue to praise it and, at worst, they'll think their dismissal was a "mistake."

cf. The loyal communists who got thrown in the gulags with Solzhenitsyn and friends
