Wu: What's the Big Deal about Segregated Social Events?

In defending her actions, Wu admitted that the “electeds of color” group had been around for several years, predating her time in office.

“I’ve been a part of a group that gathers, representing elected officials of color across all different levels of government in Massachusetts,” she said.

“A group that has been in place for more than a decade, and the opportunity to create a space for people to celebrate and rotate who hosts,” she added.

Critics will be relieved to know the blatant racism didn’t just start with Wu.
