[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A college can look diverse on paper but the actual social life on campus can be very segregated by race, class, etc. [/quote]

Yes, and having “safe spaces” for POC, in my view, is not a bad thing. For many of these students, going to college might be their first time attending school that is majority White (and / or Asian). Self-segrating, gives these students a path into integrating into the bigger society. I am a POC, but I grew up in mostly white middle class town. Most of my friends in college were white, because we shared common experiences growing up. [/quote]

Have you considered/toured any HBCU s ? [/quote]

What does this have to do with anything? She said that she went to college a long time ago. She's just providing an opinion about why certain students might cluster together in college.

It's odd that athletes can self segregate, other students with specific interests (like investment club or frat bros) can self-segregate, but if minorities self-segregate then its viewed as something completely different.  It's the same -- students at times group themselves based on interests at that time.   No different.
