Be Black and Upset That a Yoga Diversity Conference Only Has CAC Panelists Brehette

[froggle]

I am not a confrontational person. That is not what Ashtanga Yoga Project is about but dude….I almost fell off my chair this morning when I clicked on a link for an Ashtanga Yoga and Diversity Conference in Bali that had all white faces. Are you kidding me? We all know Ashtanga Yoga originated in India. Not even any Indian faces!!!! Like seriously, are you kidding me? It is 2019. Why are we still doing this!!!!!

Yes, I cannot tell someone’s ethnicity just by their picture but if everyone on the presenter list can pass for White, you didn’t reach far enough!!!! These people are not my global leaders. Stop it. OMG. How can you talk about Ashtanga on a global scale without any POC. Are you serious!!!!

How Can You Have a Unity and Diversity Conference W/ No Diversity!!!! - Ashtanga Yoga Project

They take everything and make it seem like they found this fresh new thing

Indians are probably ecstatic that it's all white faces

[PikaDaDon]

I think it's a bit weird when black professionals fight for inclusion when it comes to being represented among certain organizations. Why not make your own and make some real money along the way?

 

[get these nets]

If there's a white face on it, it becomes easier to sell to white people.
That's why you can take a story that allegedly originates in modern day Palestine...and

Spoiler

sell this to people

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Is that Tony Romo, second from the right, next to the blond broad?

Why do you think they try to label shyt "Indo-European" and whatnot. They stay tryna claim everything as theirs. Indians had contact with Euros for trade, but they created shyt independent of Euros and shouldn't be lumped in with them.

As somebody pointed out, not sure that people in India will say a peep about the blatant co-opting.
If Blacks did this, the response would be much different from Indians.

History of chess - Wikipedia

Precursors to chess originated in India during the Gupta Empire.[4] There, its early form in the 6th century was known as chaturaṅga, which translates as "four divisions (of the military)": infantry, cavalry, elephantry, and chariotry. These forms are represented by the pieces that would evolve into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, respectively.[5]



The first paragraph said it was probably done in India first


The history of chess can be traced back nearly 1500 years, although the earliest origins are uncertain. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD; a minority of historians believe the game originated in China. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century.
