You can't make this up. Now the Black students want a separate room in the "Multicultural Room" or just their own building. Evidently, being Inclusive requires Exclusion.
American University has created a space for students of different identities to come together and foster a sense of community, but some students recently complained it’s too inclusive.
The room, known as the Hub for Organizing Multiculturalism and Equity, or HOME, opened in November 2017 in the wake of alleged hate crimes against black students.
More recently, a feature in The Eagle campus newspaper on the 1-year-old room detailed how some students are frustrated that officials allow students of any ethnicity to use it, rather than only students of color, and also that “several students said they viewed HOME as a response to their request for a black house.”
“What we needed was a large community space that the entire black community could get together and support one another,” student Ma’at Sargeant, a member of the Black Student Alliance, told the newspaper.
And more than black students are voicing concern.
Sam Liang, a member of the Asian American Student Union, said “I understand why they would’ve opened it to everyone because exclusivity isn’t something that’s really garnered on campus … but it makes it feel like the point of it isn’t there anymore.”
Othniel Malcolm Andrew Harris, a student who has been involved in organizing protests at the university, told The College Fix that HOME is not enough for black students on campus after reports of racist incidents from a few years back.
Harris explained that other schools, including in the D.C. area, have “Black Houses,” which are on-campus houses dedicated to black students, and he wants the same for American University.

How the hell is this even legal?

Stupid is the only thing students learn anymore...

It seems this is common at universities today. Blacks often have their own dorms, sections of cafeterias, and separate "spaces" by Request. So this is intended Self Segregation. I often see statements from Black students that they don't "Feel Safe" on campus. WTF? Are roving gangs of White Supremacists, or hooded KKK roaming campuses and attacking Black people?
Why do Black people feel uncomfortable with Whites, and other Minorities? We don't they like us, and why do they want to interact with us?
