So leftists are segregating? I know they always have, but I thought they “progressed” beyond this?

Critics of the plan are calling the arrangement "racially segregated housing."Since when does an exact definition require scare quotes?

They should start a dorm for those whose SAT scores are below 700. It would accomplish the same thing but wouldn’t be racist. :-)

Can’t wait to hear some of the nicknames the uconn students come up with for the black house.

I’d identify as African American male to get in the nice new housing, but statistically, my risk of being a crime victim would go way up. So I probably ought to keep identifying as a Cracker.

Such racist programs exist now on many college campuses - instead of helping or tutoring any student who needs help, some colleges run race- designated tutoring programs and even have race- designated facilities. (Jim Crow is very alive and well)

They clean up after themselves, don't party and are unfailingly polite.I once lived next to door to some Asian engineers. They studied all the time. One night a semester, right after their exams, they would play Watermelon Man. Very loud. And dance. They danced with themselves. Not with each other. Except for one night they were perfect neighbors. Actually, that one night they were great neighbors.

Get it? Segregation is part of the complete diversity solution.

If they come from a failing cultural mindset common in a sub-community, segregating them like this is the worst thing you can do. They need to be dispersed and forced to mix with others, to pick up part of more successful cultural values.

Indeed. We are all related at about the 50th cousin level. All 7 billion or so of us.
