You do know that everything is racist, right?

Can anything be racist when everything is raaaaacist? How about ‘climate change’?

Auckland chapter of Greta Thunberg-linked climate movement disbands itself for being ‘racist’

In September of 2019, the streets of Auckland, New Zealand were a sea of protesters. Across the globe, several million people were marching as part of the “School Strike 4 Climate” youth movement sparked by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg. But few demonstrations were more sweeping than the one in New Zealand’s largest city, where up to 80,000 marchers filled the streets.

Less than two years later, however, one of the groups that organized the Auckland event is disbanding because of what it says is its own racism.

In a Facebook post, School Strike 4 Climate’s Auckland chapter said it was shutting down because it “has been a racist, white-dominated space.” It directed people concerned about climate change to Indigenous-led groups and said it would not be organizing any more climate strikes.

“SS4C AKL has avoided, ignored, and tokenised BIPOC voices and demands, especially those of Pasifika and Māori individuals in the climate activism space,” it wrote. BIPOC is the acronym for Black, Indigenous and people of color, while Pasifika refers to people who identify with the Pacific islands.

To start with, most of these climate cult groups are full of overwhelmingly white and middle class to rich people in 1st World nations. People, in this case kids, who really do not have any real problems in their lives. They aren’t worried about shelter, food, clothing, education, medical care. Their parents take them on nice fossil fueled vacations to exotic locations. We’ve seen this in most climate cult groups.

Secondly, it is actually rather racist/biased/prejudiced for these white kids to believe they can think for all these “BIPOC”, Pasifika (I wonder if they call themselves that, or, is it a term these white SJWs came up with, like they did for Latinx?), and Maori folks, that they can assign these belief sets to all those folks. Are they not allowed to think for themselves? Did they bother asking? Seems rather presumptive, does it not?

New Zealand’s School Strike 4 Climate movement was criticized in March 2019, when its first strike was scheduled during a festival for Pacific Islanders. “There was a growing perception that SS4C was just an extracurricular activity for upper-class [White] kids,” Stuff, a New Zealand news website, wrote earlier this year.

It is. Most of these kids, like the rest of climate cultists, do not practice what they preach.

In New Zealand, there have been growing calls to place people of color — who are disproportionately affected by climate change — at the center of the environmental movement.

Calls by whom? Uber-white middle and upper class Warmists? Ones who think so little of people of color that they believe they cannot survive without the helpful hand of government and the white Warmists? That’s racist.

Sherwood-O’Regan, who is Māori and began her climate activism at age 13, said people should see the group’s disbanding as a chance to improve the environmental movement.

“You get into a cycle where front line community groups are expected to spend all our time essentially making … White organizations less problematic rather than actually being able to do the critical work we need to do on the ground to stop climate change and to protect our communities,” she said.

Hey, this is the world you SJWs/virtue signalers/Progressives created.
