I will disagree a bit. Designated by name. But you make a valid point.
My counter is: It will disproportionately affect white students and is therefore racist in intent. Which is the same standard promoted by the critically conscious.
“Black Affinity Housing”
If this is these people’s intent as well as the sheer willingness of the Woke whites to roll over and take it, and by all appearances it is, give it time.
What’s funny is in that little window of time before Jim Crow gained traction this little conversation may have found precedent, but it’s just been lost to time.
How so?
Personally, I see the concern. I just disagree with it. It’s good for minorities who wish it, to have a space, where they are not the other.
How so?
I don’t understand.
Is there a policy or not?
Because white students are 71% of the population.
Why? To create a majority? They are “the other”. The other 2%. It’s not called “The Other Affinity Housing”. Asians and Latinos are bother much larger minorities.
When they get a little affinity?
Yes.
Why do you care now?
Cool, where is it?
In the name. Like “Boy Scouts”
That’s not a policy, that’s window dressing. That’s the headline title.
I know you don’t deep dive anything, but I’m hoping you at least did so for this discussion
what do I think? I think the left is going home to its roots
The White Affinity Housing program is located on the fifth floor of Alma Clark Glass Hall, named for the first white student to attend Western Washington University in 1893. The program explores and celebrates the diversity of White and Anglo American people and culture, with historical and contemporary context. All Western students residing in the program help foster a warm and vibrant community supporting social, personal and academic success.
That’s the name of the program.
Oh I just checked the website. I couldn’t find that.
Help a brotha out?
“The left” Or “democrats”? The as far as I am aware the confederacy wasn’t “the left”… right?
I rewrote it, so you can become critically conscious. Ugly, isn’t it?
The Democratic Party keeps repeating the same mistakes.
What is “white culture”?
Also I didn’t ask you for a personal rewrite. I asked for the actual policy.
But let’s assume you were Dean for a day… why would you need such a program when 95%+ of the student population is white? Is there a lack of understanding white history? Aka “American history”
Is the government doing this today?
What is “black culture”?
I’m a Giver, it’s what I do.
It’s not. It’s 71% “white”. Why do I need an understanding of “black history” when it is only relevant to 2% of my population?
Why not Asian history 6% or Latino 9%?
