I feel like they buried the lede:
“Police believe that it is, rather, something which would aim to facilitate the arrival at the catacombs, therefore the work of cataphiles,” he said, referring to clandestine catacomb explorers.

The poor little snowflakes. Can't they take a joke? It's a free country, people should be able to say or do what they want in their lectures. They're just trying to make sure America isn't destroyed by pansification. Why won't everyone wake up!?

If you don't like the local culture, go somewhere else. I hope this is more the hotels doing shit than the tourists actually complaining.

Ah but they are informed and are being willfully ignorant and antagonistic.

If he's hired as a "diversity hire" (AKA unqualified) then it has absolutely everything to do with it and I'm baffled that you can't see that.

Okay, so let's say he was elected on his merits and was fully qualified. Would calling him a diversity hire then be racist?

You do realize that by labeling him a "DEI mayor," they're specifically making it about race, right? They're saying he only got the job because of his race, as a "diversity hire." And they're doing this when his race has nothing to do with the situation. In fact, in this particular case, the mayor, no matter who he or she is has nothing to do with the situation.

So yeah, bringing up race for no reason - and in a derogatory fashion no less - would make the perpetrator, dare I say... Racist.

If you don't think it does, I'd be very interested to hear where you draw the line where something becomes racism. Maybe provide examples of things that are and aren't racist to enlighten us.

This week, Halloran was accused of joking privately with other lawmakers inside the legislative chamber that Machaela Cavanaugh likes to view pornography. Speaker of the Legislature Sen. John Arch — who is a member of the Executive Board — confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that he confronted Halloran about those remarks and that Halloran acknowledged he had made them.

This guy desperately needs some sensitivity training.
