Those who oppose this racist process are speaking out. Calling for a Rosa Parks movement among non-whites. We will sit on the bus is their cry

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) is organizing a movie night for students to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in Redwood City this evening. According to the Vice Provost for Education, the GSC’s mission is to serve “Stanford's graduate student population by representing student interests in University affairs, supporting graduate student organizations, and providing community events for graduate students.”
But, how exactly the GSC serves you depends on your race. The film in question, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, centers on a world (known as Wakanda) of black people with superhero abilities. In real life, blacks also have some superpowers — evidently, being prioritized for free movie tickets.
Apparently, black students will have the opportunity to skip the line. An email from the GSC explains, “we have 450 tickets to give away and 100 of those tickets will be distributed beforehand via lottery among Black graduate students.” While the “rest of the tickets will be distributed starting from 7:30 PM to 8:25 PM and they will be first-come, first-serve.” The email states that the GSC will have buses to the theater, but they “have limited spots on buses to and from Cinemark for this event. Priority for bus spots will be given to students with a reserved ticket from the lottery above.”
In other words, if you’re black you not only get a reserved movie ticket but priority seating on the bus. Anyone of another race must coordinate their own rides to the theater.
