I figured from the beginning that minority-only housing and other buildings and programs at colleges wasn't anything like a return to the pre-1965 racial segregation that was best for everyone. Rather, it's a staking out of areas and resources from which whites are barred. As evidence, look for legally- or bureaucratically-designated "whites only" anything desirable; you won't find any.
The obvious expectation among these diversities is that these areas in the U.S. will expand and merge to cover the whole country, so that there will be NO place at all in the U.S. where whites are allowed to be present for a moment, just as they figure whites deserve to be allowed to have zero percentage of the money (and food and air). It really is going to be a "them or us" choice, with no other alternatives.

"A black freshman at Washington DC’s American University recently referred to white students returning to campus as an “invasive species.”
AU is open for “temporary” housing for half of the spring semester, which means approximately 1,250 students will be living on campus between March and May.
Kayla Kelly writes in The Eagle that the housing is a form of “settler colonialism” because most of those taking advantage of the opportunity will be “affluent white students.”
“Settler colonialism is a form of colonialism that replaces the original population with a new invasive species,” Kelly says. “The settler system takes over the space, resources and culture of the environment it encompasses, displacing the original population.”
The freshman also pulls a Ray Nagin, mayor of New Orleans during 2005’s Hurricane Katrina: The white “invasion” could affect DC’s status as a “chocolate city.”
Some students who criticized AU’s housing decision faced — gasp! — “negative reactions” from their classmates. One of the critics, Katherine Greenstein, had a concern about “medical racism”:
Another housing decision critic, Ali Siddiqi, said “You’re going to see a lot of people exhibiting their privilege.” He noted some AU students have done so already by taking selfies with National Guard members still stationed in the city — “as if it were a joke.”
Kelly concludes by noting these invasive, privileged and “rash” white settlers are just “tired of living at home” and are “acting out in rebellion due to th[eir] newfound freedom.” She accuses them of not contributing anything to the communities in which they live; indeed, they’ll “buy out stock at stores and malls” … leaving a pittance for the natives."

When it comes to selecting students to live in the Black Scholars, Latinx, and Indigenous residence halls, "It is important [that] only students who hold that identity are considered," said a university residence life official.
