Controversial 'Electeds of Color' Party Sparks Outrage in Boston

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu faced criticism for hosting a "electeds of color" holiday party that excluded white lawmakers. Despite the backlash, Wu proudly posted a photo of the attendees on Instagram, stating that the event celebrated the growing diversity in leadership positions. Critics called the party segregationist and accused Wu of racism, while supporters argued that it provided a space for people of color who are often underrepresented in positions of power. The accidental invitation to the entire city council, followed by an apology, further fueled the controversy.
