Too many white people at UVA Multicultural Student Center

[Half-Life]

'Too many white people' does not equate to the idea there should be no white people.

So if a white person said, "there's too many black people here," you would agree that this does not equate to the idea that there should be no black people?

Imagine if this was a white person who went up there and said, "This is a space for white people and quite frankly, there's just too many people of color here." Student probably would've been expelled from the school and the university would have to dole out a huge apology about how "we treat all students equally and cherish everyone."

But since a black girl said it, her racism gets a pass. And yet people on this forum still insist that white people are not oppressed she got death threats and had to delete her twitter account.

You really have no clue what universities are like, especially UVA.

It is pretty clear you have no clue what being oppressed means. An ignorant thought experiment is not evidence of oppression.

'Too many white people' does not equate to the idea there should be no white people.

"Too many black people" does not equate to the idea there should be no black people.

And?

This new multicultural center is a replacement for their old one. An article states the mission behind the formation of the old center was 'to create a space to support underrepresented groups while cultivating an inclusive and diverse University community'.

Excluding people based on their race isn't inclusive and it reduces diversity.

It doesn't reduce diversity at the university. Nearly anywhere else on campus the dynamic where white Americans are present and are the majority can be experienced. This space had, as part of its mission, an aim to serve underrepresented groups rather than the the predominant group. Diversity and inclusion isn't simply about trying to have all people present in all places at all times. It's about ensuring groups whose needs or voices may be less represented ordinarily have access to resources and space so that the overall university experience is more inclusive of the diverse population.

You must've missed this new thing we have called intersectionaity.

For example, a straight white male is all the way at the bottom of this hierarchy, whereas a black trans lesbian Muslim woman would be at the top of the hierarchy. A gay white man and a gay black man are both represented by being gay, but the black man is higher in the hierarchy because he's also black.

It is a mistake to think that injecting irrelevancies furthers your argument. The point is that your ignorant thought experiments are not evidence of oppression.

You were the one who said ALL the US presidents have been white, and for a reason.

That's a strange form of oppression, innit?

 

[Derec]

It is pretty clear you have no clue what being oppressed means.

Neither does she. Or you, for that matter.

Well, Obama is only like half white.

Hahaha, you are supporting Half-Life's arguments again! You fell right into it.

Even if he is a strawman sockpuppet troll, when he says that this girl is a racist and is getting away with it because of her skin color he is absolutely right.
Even a strawman has a point sometimes.

And?

What was the point of you saying "too many white people" does not equal "no white people"??

It doesn't reduce diversity at the university.

It reduces it at the Multicultural Student Center, and it excludes people from it.

It's about ensuring groups whose needs or voices may be less represented ordinarily have access to resources and space so that the overall university experience is more inclusive of the diverse population.

Certainly this person's voice got "represented".

I know the feelings of white people do not matter, but imagine for a moment that you were white and you were in that space when this person claimed dominion over it, told people too many white people made her uncomfortable and that they did not belong, and then got applauded for it.

 

[Metaphor]

It came across as a prank actually. It is a really competitive thing to get your stuff to "go viral" and I guess she has somewhat succeeded. It's just another non controversial, click bait news story that trots out some silly shit seen on Tw@tter followed by quotes from the people that respond. Social media is a cesspit.

I did not even look at the video and so I did not pick up on social cues etc that could have led me in that direction. BUT now that you mention it, isn't it weird that she had her friend video the whole thing? So there is certainly some evidence of this hypothesis...

Who says it was a 'friend' that filmed it?

But let's say it's a stunt. If I were pulling a stunt like this, it would be to prove that naked race-based contempt of white people can be and is applauded at universities. If she wanted to prove how 'multiculturalism' is not even code for 'too many white people' but the prime definition in 'progressive' spaces, she did it.

'Too many white people' does not equate to the idea there should be no white people.

So if a white person said, "there's too many black people here," you would agree that this does not equate to the idea that there should be no black people?

Well, if YOU said it, and since you have stated a desire to form and live in a white ethnostate, why would i NOT think you meant that?
Any logical argument will do.
Take your time.

There is no inherent statement that white people categorically shouldn't be in the space let alone a sentiment that this somehow means white people don't have culture.

It reduces it at the Multicultural Student Center, and it excludes people from it.

It was created to support underrepresented groups. What is so hard to understand about that? It promotes a culture of diversity and inclusion at the university.

People aren't excluded, but they should bear in mind the purpose of the space. The family/ disabilities bathrooms don't exclude people from their use, and yet generally people who don't have specific need of those facilities should remember who those spaces are for and generally leave them free when other facilities are available to them.

I know the feelings of white people do not matter, but imagine for a moment that you were white and you were in that space when this person claimed dominion over it, told people too many white people made her uncomfortable and that they did not belong, and then got applauded for it.

I am white. She didn't 'claim dominion over it'; it exists to serve the needs of underrepresented groups, which is not me, at least not in this regard. There may be some occasions where I might visit this space if I needed specific services provided or if an event was being held which was relevant to me, but otherwise, why would I go there? It's a small space on the campus and many others would just as easily suit my needs.

Would it make me uncomfortable if I were there? The answer is likely not really. At worst I may have felt mildly embarrassed or mildly irritated, but I've experienced much worse. I've lived most of my life being readily accepted into the predominate racial/ ethnic group. I don't feel deeply troubled by the fact that a small space in a university established largely to support those not in the majority might want me to consider using other spaces. I would not feel it was a challenge to my representation inclusion in that university community. I understand what it is to want a space where you aren't the minority when nearly everywhere else you are.

It literally does not equate to the idea that there should be no black people.

Your baseless opinion is duly noted.

 

[repoman]

What will happen has already been laid out by the prophetic William Luther Pierce in his fantastic seminal work "The Turner Diaries".

All other groups will be allowed to have separate meetings and set asides etc..., but whites will not.

Whether her threshold of comfort is 'fewer' white people or no white people is not the point. Her naked race-based contempt is the point.

It was created to support underrepresented groups. What is so hard to understand about that? It promotes a culture of diversity and inclusion at the university.

The space was created to do that. This woman's words and actions don't.

People aren't excluded, but they should bear in mind the purpose of the space.

The purpose of the space is to be inclusive. That's why if I go to the space, I would want to feel included.

I am white. She didn't 'claim dominion over it';

She spoke as if hers was the only opinion that mattered. Did she consult with the other people in the room about whether they too felt there were too many white people?

but otherwise, why would I go there?

Why the fuck wouldn't you go there? Why ought you be unwelcome based on your ethnicity? Wouldn't you be paying fees just like everyone else at the university?

Would it make me uncomfortable if I were there? The answer is likely not really. At worst I may have felt mildly embarrassed or mildly irritated, but I've experienced much worse. I've lived most of my life being readily accepted into the predominate racial/ ethnic group. I don't feel deeply troubled by the fact that a small space in a university established largely to support those not in the majority might want me to consider using other spaces.

That's great for you. You can remove yourself.

I would not feel it was a challenge to my representation inclusion in that university community. I understand what it is to want a space where you aren't the minority when nearly everywhere else you are.

Understanding her desire to not be around white people is not an excuse for her to want to scold white people out of a space that is intended for all people.

I would hope so. People who think whites don't have a culture are dense.
