I've been told over and over again how stupid I am for believing that there is a war against regular white men. Well here is some more proof about how I am right.
An upcoming comedy festival in New York City is charging different rates for attendees in an apparent effort to check the privilege of straight white men.
The Cinderblock Comedy Festival will be held Sept. 15-18 in the hipster stronghold of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. With the festivities just seven months away, organizers are already urging potential performers to apply to perform. But the festival has one very notable policy: Currently, only women, non-whites and those who identify as LGBT are allowed to apply for an early-bird price of $19.25. Straight white men, on the other hand, will only be allowed to apply starting March 15, and theyโll have to pay $25 to do so.
