Yes, a dumbass staff member (who lists classes online, not a professor) goofed when he/she did not explain that this statement does not exclude other people:

This class is for people who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other people of color.

And soom fixed it to say:

This class is designed to enable Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other people of color underrepresented in the sport of rock climbing to learn the sport and to feel included and supported. The class is open to all Cornell students interested in learning rock climbing with this special focus.

https://scl.cornell.edu/coe/pe-courses/spring-pe-courses/rock-climbing/BIPOC-rock-climbing

The course could not have been "racially-segregated" per Cornell rules, and did not note that non-BIPOC people were excluded, and no one "frantically scrubs website"

That's not how university administration works.

The assholes at that website allow for this freshman student to post clickbait that's easily debunked.

What happened is that an idiotic staff member failed to list the course correctly, and then corrected it.

This class is designed to enable Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other people of color underrepresented in the sport of rock climbing

Is there someone/something prohibiting them from rock climbing in the first place?

basically, people of color first trained us to not be racist towards them and now they pushed whites out of the game.

now, it is blacks that are racist.

No, unless one considers class differences.

One could argue that a rock climing course designed to be more inclusive to under-representated or traditionally marginalized people is itself really calling into question the conflation of racial descrimination with problems of access due to class status.

the one thing that can not be debunked is the fence with razor wire around my white house.

You can thank the gravy seals, Qanon, Twittler, Guliani, and all the 'special' patriots and aspiring Columbine High mass-murderers who tried to locate and murder politicians. God bless...

the columbine boys were not targetting politicians, no way.. the columbine boys were mocked as outcasts in their school, so they sought revenge by entering the school with some fairly nice weapons.. i dont know what they were, but they were basic assault weapons. i have watched the columbine videos omg several times.

I get it: you insist on defending mass murderers of innocent people, that you like thinking about the guns, and that you like the videos.

So there is absolutely nothing redeemable about you. Congratulations.

    in today's world, one must be careful of everyone. There are some that know how to get my gps coordinates, and then they could come and kill me.

    anyone that works for google has my precise gps coordinates and they know every route that my phone has ever taken.

    there is no privacy now.

    when i was young, i lived with almost no food for approx ten days. i had only a few bites of food for those ten days.

    when hunger and thirst sets in, you will be happy to sit inside of a microwave oven if there is food in the oven.
