Sieg Hyatt
“No matter what type of meeting you’re planning, Hyatt has all the added touches to make it stylish and unique.” Guess white supremacists like that kind of thing:
McLEAN, Va. (AP) - The Hyatt hotel chain has come under fire for agreeing to host a conference this weekend sponsored by a white supremacist group.
The conference in the Washington suburb of Herndon is sponsored by the Oakton, Va.-based New Century Foundation, whose leader says the white race is losing its identity in the United States because of multiculturalism and immigration.
… Hyatt spokeswoman Lori Armon said the opinions of those at the conference do not necessarily reflect those of the Hyatt Corp. “However, we do not discriminate against any of our guests or organizations with which our guests are affiliated,” she said.
The foundation’s leader, Jared Taylor, expects about 250 people to attend.
Taylor said he does not view himself as a white supremacist even though he believes whites are genetically superior to blacks.
… Writing last year in a magazine article, Taylor said the chaos in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina showed that “When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization - any kind of civilization - disappears.”
So I guess this must be a different Hyatt:
Diversity is one of Hyatt's Core Values. Hyatt's goal for Diversity is “To lead our industry by being an employer and hospitality company of choice for an increasingly diverse population.”
But not for long, if it continues to host hate groups—something you might want to discuss with Hyatt’s wonderfully pseudonymous diversity team at (I’m not making this up) mélange@corphq.hyatt.com.
As Aravosis says: Sieg Hyatt!
