Why didn't you look into the history surrounding the tradition before posting that ridiculous video? Things might have made bore sense to you than some adolescent knee jerk swear fest by two halfwits... Just a thought.

The students wanting white people to disappear for the day are the ones not understanding the tradition.

Also, if the 'non-white' staff/pupils chose not to go in for the day because of this cause, thats rather different to demanding others don't go in.

Whether it's tradition or not makes absolutely zero difference.

The black students are protesting that the whites won't stay off for the day and why should they have to just because they are white?
Maybe they don't want anything to do with these ridiculous segregation traditions?
What business is it of the black student protesters?

However, it does raise a pertinent point. The reason many people push back against a "PC" culture is because of the gross misinterpretation of discriminatory issues.

They do, I would have thought it was as beneficial for black students to realise how much their white tutors and peers are an integral part of the school than the other way around.
The students who were campaigning for this and who wanted a say are not only the black students, it's crazy it's been taken to such a place and made to be a black v white issue. If you hear the pov of the students involved the whole drama seems a massive overreaction.
