The Boston Mayor's office continues to beclown itself this week after it was reported that a staff member for Michelle Wu inadvertently sent an email invite for an "Electeds of Color" holiday party to all city council members, including the white ones.

There are thirteen members on the council. Seven are white and six are "persons of color."

When last we left you with this story, Wu staffer Denise DosSantos apologized for sending the invite for the Wednesday party to all council members, saying "I did send that to everyone by accident, and I apologize if my email may have offended or came across as so. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused."

Though this issue has definitely stirred the pot in Beantown, other city council members have stepped up to defend having such a party because apparently they, too, want to make segregation great again::

Council members of color also spoke to media after Wednesday night’s City Council meeting, saying that this shouldn’t be a controversy at all, and that people of color deserve spaces to gather.

“It is not at all divisive, it is creating spaces for people and communities and identities with shared experiences to come together,” said Ruthzee Louijeune, a Boston city councilor at-large. “We are still breaking barriers and it is so important for us to carve out and create that space.”

Wu herself, who is the first woman and person of color to be elected to lead the city, was interviewed about the controversy, and as per the norm, the mayor pretended to be a model of inclusiveness while defending the practice of providing "spaces" that excluded white people:

"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."

"There are many, many events that are private events for all different sorts of groups, so we've clarified that and look forward to seeing everyone at one of the dozens of other opportunities to celebrate the holidays together," Wu also stated.

Watch:

As Wu and likeminded wokesters on the city council continue to defend the practice of discriminating against a particular race using taxpayer dollars to do so, here's something else important to remember about Wu:
