Once again, sorting people in nice, neat little boxes. I guess you haven't figured out this is not a winning strategy?

I hate the terms BIPOC and POC. Should we use “people of no color” (PONC) to describe White people?


This is like asking why there’s no Anglo-American History month. Bit&$, do you not understand that every month is Anglo-American History month. For all the whining about liberal snowflakes and wokeness, no group gets more butthurt about the prospect of ceding power and being the center of the culture than white people.


Over 70% of americans are white. Why is it so surprising that society reflects this?


For people of college age, 18-24, about 50% of America is white. So 70% would not be reflective of America as a whole. Which is the point.


What are the percentages for people in college?



I don’t know about people in college but it’s probably available. Here is people who are college age (whether they are in college or not).

It has nothing to do with sexuality.



Holy crap! I am BIPOC (not sexually). I had no idea.

Yes, it matters for us.

Having a plurality of white students is extremely important for many DCUMers.

This is so strange


Seems like more of a fetish than a rational consideration.

Congratulations on being insufferable.


People get so defensive when someone says that it isn't the greatest opportunity imaginable to go to a school with their white UMC kids.


Who said that? Or is this just "the game" where someone on the internet makes up something someone said then attacks/mocks what was never actually said?
