Sorry for double post but I feel this needs a separate post.
I'm taking one for the team and registered for that. If someone could help me with finding a way to screen capture it I'd appreciate it.

Eta: in the confirmation email it says EF will be emailing everyone a recording of the workshop. How nice of them to make it easy.

Sorry I'm a little late on posting this. I wasn't able to make it to the live because I knew they were giving the recording and I honestly wasn't up to spending my free evening on that. here is the recording. it's 98 minutes. have fun
I haven't made it through the entire thing in one sitting. My attention span is not good enough to deal with this so I've been skipping around.. It looks like they mostly talk about the """problems""" but hardly give any options to fix them other than make sure you know to fucking check your privilege shitlords. Privileges like having band aids match your skin color.
It actually seems more like a plug for their $297 10 week "Compassionate Activism" program. The last 20 minutes is pretty much them talking about the course and giving an "early bird" 67% discount so it's only $97.
If anyone knows how to extract the video to back it up I'd appreciate help on that.

okay, I'm on my 3rd attempt to watch this whole thing (only at minute 25 right now) and even the people on the stream seem to be bored out of their skull by the Asian chick's ramblings.
 
@SeaKitty The "Racism is enforced through "Flesh" colored band aids that white people never question" garbage was around when I was back in college.... in the 20th Century no less...... good to see their reaching for only the freshest ideas out there to make their point. I guess I'm just glad the progressives around at the time were to wrapped up with other causes to give white privilege a look over until I was well away from there.

But they make Band-Aids in a ton of different colors now...

I honestly never even considered band-aids were supposed to match your skin color. They don't match my 100% PURE WHITE SKIN at all, though yeah, they do stand out more on a black person.
 
I mean, it makes sense for wound coverage to be 'light' in tone because it'll make it easier to tell when blood etc. drenches through. And lets not forget we're usually dealing with people in predominately white countries here...yes, there's little market for black band-aids or black foundations because it's a white country. I doubt Kenya has a large array of products geared towards white people either. Calm the fuck down.
 
Honestly I go for the heavy-duty fabric. I don't care if it's white, tan, fuschia, or puce. I want the sucker to stay on. If you have a complex due to bandages you are too privileged for me to give a fuck.

They haven't called those fucking things "flesh" colored since the fucking '60s. They haven't called crayons that either.

I know at least Copic markers still have a color called "flesh" but it doesn't really match anyone's skin color. I think it's actually used more for shading then for the actual skin color when coloring light skin. Besides Copic has skin tone set that goes from light to dark.

I also agree with everyone above that ""skin color"" bandaids don't match anyone's skin color. I'm pretty frickin white (which of course means I have maximum white privilege :roll:) and the bandaids stand out like...well, a bandaid. If the normal bandaids contrast too much on darker skin tones then they can get the kind with really fun colors and patterns and characters. I'm sure there's a way to get customized bandaids too. I'd rather have fun bandaids then the boring ones anyway but I'm too lazy to look and I don't use many anyway.
 
Brushing your teeth is racist because it maintains your teeth white instead of letting them get that beautiful black color.

White teeth are considered "pretty" and "healthy". Toothpaste was invented by white men. Coincidence?
