Maybe your link took me to a different article via technology magic. But besides the clickbait headline, can you tell me where in the article it says that the space will be a "no-whites" zone?
ETA: I withdraw my question actually. It's just good ol' fashioned propaganda with your coffee. Next time, just link to your personal blog. It'll have about as much credibility.

How often do mixed people identify as white? It seems to be exceedingly rare.

What about the mixed races? I never hear about how they're getting along in America. How white is too white? How black is black enough?

All this article is saying is that UM's African American student org wants some.office space.
It says office space SPECIFICALLY FOR POCs.
It's completely normal, it's no.different than the cooking club requesting a kitchen be made for them on campus or the ability to use campus facilities for their purposes.
I noticed you left the racial discrimination part of of your description here. A cooking club just for white people? You think that would be normal?
Reading comprehension..
Office space for the African American student org.. which whites can join... there's white ppl in BLM too.
There is nothing segregatory about this request. Re-read my post

I have a very succinct sharp witty comment but unfortunately it would constitute a serious terms and conditions violation.

Amazing how children just suddenly change their minds, isn't it??
The old civil rights marchers must be wondering what the heck is going on... Is this what they marched on Selma to accomplish? Bitten by police dogs? Murdered? So their childrens children can turn their backs on all the gains made at the cost of blood and lives?
It's truly saddening to see this.

A student activist group at the University of Michigan is demanding campus officials provide them with “a permanent designated space on central campus for Black students and students of color to organize and do social justice work.”
In their demands, students explain why the new multicultural student center is not enough, “because we want a space solely dedicated to community organizing and social justice work specifically for people of color.”
This list of demands also call for more support for “marginalized” students “when oppressive attacks occur,” increasing the affirmative action of “Black, Arab, and other PoC” in tenured faculty, more readily alerting students on campus of “bias incidents,” and offering more financial aid for those of lower socioeconomic status.

And to think that those same students are going to become the leaders of this nation in some time in the future, looking at what we see now, we most wonder.
They already are....
Oh

God...
I dont know where to begin...

Why stop there? I say we bring back separate bathrooms, drinking fountains, entrances....hell, why not just go back to separate schools and universities? Then you won't have to mingle with any of the whites.
Martin Luther King would be so disappointed in our country...
