Sri Lanka ‘white party’ cancelled after backlash

A controversial event dubbed the ‘white party’ in Sri Lanka has been cancelled following widespread backlash and accusations of racism.

The event, which was scheduled to take place in Colombo, was advertised as a dress code of white attire only, leading to accusations of promoting racial segregation and exclusivity.

Organizers of the event faced heavy criticism on social media, with many condemning the choice of dress code as insensitive and offensive. Critics pointed out that such events only serve to perpetuate racial divides and discrimination.

In response to the backlash, the organizers decided to cancel the event, issuing a public apology and acknowledging the hurt caused by their actions.

Many have praised the decision to cancel the ‘white party’ and hope that this incident serves as a wake-up call for greater awareness and sensitivity towards issues of race and inclusivity in Sri Lanka.
