Good intensions gone wrong is how I'd label it.

I went to an art exhibit featuring minority artists today. All well and good. I like art, even paint a bit myself. However, one of the organizers insisted on removing all the chairs for visitors from the room. Thus any handicapped people (another type of minority) visiting the exhibit would NOT be encouraged to remain.

Even one of the artists (in a wheelchair herself) was trying to point out that they should listen as one handicapped visitor to the exhibit was begging for them to leave the chairs alone.

All for nothing. The organizer persisted and the chairs were removed.
