[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is beyond getting rid of affirmative action. They are talking about ANY student activities related to race/DEI.  No Asian or AA student unions. AA frats or sororities? What about women’s organizations? This is stupid.  [/quote]

You don’t need any of those things. Just be inclusive to everyone. [/quote]

Yes you do. I want to have the option to be in a club for women or for black people. Americans are different. That's ok. What's the difference between that and a club for athletes?[/quote]

Well, a white fellow student once earnestly explained to me that the athletic clubs and bonding experiences were about having shared interests — while the “Black tables” in the dining halls were about self-segregation, and that somehow threatened him. He felt that I was wrong to see the white tables as “white tables” because these were simply white INDIVIDUALS who, having something in common, decided to sit together. Yes, folks, he was completely incapable of seeing me and other students of color as individuals— rather than as a learning opportunities for people like him.
