We reported on this last week but the story has gone national and now the leaders of Pitzer College are in a real bind.

Of course, if white students did this they’d probably be expelled.

Pitzer College Leaders Can’t Agree If It’s OK for Students to Advertise for Non-White Roommates

So is it OK for college students to take out ads seeking non-white roommates for their off-campus house?

Well, at Pitzer College in California, it depends which senior administrator you ask.

Students at Claremont Colleges (of which Pitzer is one) advertised an opening in their off-campus home on Facebook that listed “POC” (or “person of color”) as one of the requirements to apply. The students are also resident advisors at the school. Although other students immediately pointed out that the policy was discriminatory, the RAs countered that the segregated housing “protected” students of color and created a “safe space” for members of their community.

One student of color defended the policy to Claremont’s student newspaper, saying that it meant she “didn’t have to tiptoe around fragile white feelings in a space where we just want to relax and be comfortable.”

Another told the Claremont Independent that “white people always mad when they don’t feel included but at the end of the day y’all are damaging asf [as f—] and if a POC feels they need to protect themselves from that toxic environment THEY CAN! Quick to try to jump on a POC but you won’t call your friends out when they’re being racist asf.”
