"Electeds of Color" Party Down

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who may be Chinese, Japanese, Tongan, Asian or Korean, I can never tell all those people apart, is hosting a Christmas party this evening for a long-standing group called Electeds of Color. Really.

I guess that means people who got elected to some office and are not white; I looked up the word "electeds" and did not find it anywhere. It's not a word. Nevertheless, the group has been around for at least a decade, and remains staunchly unapologetic about its existence.

The unabashedly racist event was discovered/uncovered when an aide to the mayor, who is herself black so I guess she's going to the party, mistakenly sent out the invitation to everyone, not just the intended audience. The aide later apologized about sending the invitation to white people and hoped they were not offended.

Who knew racism is so acceptable in Boston?
