That’s racist.
If discrimination is wrong, it is wrong regardless of the skin color of the discriminator.

Hope he can find a POC that will pay their share

I agree. And it is a sad commentary that the same people who should most fear the return of race based segregation are cheering it on.

Fine by me, if whites can request white room-mates too, without having to make up some b-s excuse about personal compatibility.
To: dfwgator
Self-segregation is not the same as public-accomodation segregation or affirmative action. I think it’s closer to freedom of association, although I’ll admit the lines get kinda blurry sometimes.
To: NRx
Lefties believe in affirmative action because they believe black people are inferior. Since they believe black people are inferior, they naturally believe it is OK for them to be racist.

Good luck doing the same thing if you’re white.

It’s only racist if white people do it.

Agree with your assessment.
Regardless, there is a double standard. Imagine the outrage if 3 white guys had posted looking for a 4th.

Racist. You use that word a lot, I’m not sure it means what you think it means.

A smart white person would do exactly this: advertise for three roommates, liberal POCS ONLY!!
Because a handful of conservative whites will undoubtedly contact them to challenge them. Those are the ones you "reluctantly" give in to and take on as roommates.

And, when advertising for replacement actors in the most popular Musical on Broadway, it was noted ‘minorities only’. And whites are flocking to see it. A rewritten history, pretending that our Founding Fathers were minorities.

Soon they'll demand water fountains exclusive for black people, and laws to prevent white people from sitting in the back of the bus. So dumb ...

I bet this student is a Democrat too. Dems have always been the ones who are interested in dividing the country by race.

They cheer it on because they have given up hope on ever catching up; many blacks have deep-rooted inferiority complexes. Who wants roommates that you can’t understand if they use words that are more than one or two syllables?
That is what “black studies” classes and such are for as well; I’ve seen the lost looks in their eyes when they are in integrated classes. After the first couple of semesters you would never see them anymore; they either retreated to the safe space of minority studies or dropped out...
