Boston's Mayor, Michelle Wu, took an unexpected spin on holiday cheer this year, inviting the City Council to a holiday party but excluding white members, stating it was a mistake. This incident sparks a broader conversation about the continuous emphasis on race and divisive politics.
The approach by Wu's office left many questioning the biases of such parties and ceremonies. Cynics pointed out the continuing trend of separate graduation ceremonies and dormitories rooted in racial distinctions. Some even speculated if figures like Vice President Harris and Barack Obama could attend these events, considering their interracial marriages.
