The social justice “safe space” movement took another step “forward” this week with several college students proudly announcing that they were looking for non-white roommates. “People of color are allowed to create safe POC only spaces,” one minority student said when called out for the overt racism. “It is not reverse racism or discriminatory, it is self[-]preservation.”
The Claremont Independent reported on the “POC only” safe space movement Tuesday, highlighting a series of posts by a group of students at Pitzer College, a private liberal arts college in Claremont, looking for non-white roommates, some of whom were members of the Pitzer Latino Student Union. Coming to the defense were two of the college’s resident assistants.
