Sri Lanka ‘white party’ cancelled after backlash
A controversial event in Sri Lanka billed as a “white party” has been cancelled after facing backlash from the public. The event, which was scheduled to take place in Colombo, was criticized for its exclusive and potentially discriminatory nature.
Many people took to social media to express their outrage at the event, which required attendees to wear all-white clothing. Critics argued that the party was exclusionary and promoted a sense of elitism.
In response to the backlash, the organizers of the event announced that it would be cancelled. In a statement, they acknowledged the concerns raised by the public and apologized for any offense caused.
The cancellation of the ‘white party’ highlights the importance of considering the social implications of event planning, and the need to be mindful of promoting inclusivity and diversity.
