UVA Students: "Too Many White People"

Following the release of a viral video where a minority student told white students there were "too many white people" in the Multicultural Student Center, YAF visited the University of Virginia to ask students: should white people be allowed in spaces like the MSC?

[@tomforsythe7024]

Multicultural just means "not white."

No the kids have been this retarded since the mid 60s.. They grow up some stay left some move right like always. The difference is. The media blows it up so we think its new and worse than ever before. Where they used to keep it hushed or at least brief on the media in the past. This is a result of social media being seen by everyone now and not just the youth. We allow it because whether we like it or not you have to learn from life. And life teaches conservative values naturally such as cherish life. Money doesnt grow on trees family means more than money. Tradition creates stability in families. Etc etc etc. School just teaches you how to learn. How to tolerate crackpots because they are everywhere. How to differentiate if someones crazy for their ideals or they are sane but accept crazy ideals. And the college professors are who i mean. Mediary school middle school even highschool are the calm before the storm. The lefty professors know life teaches conservative values. So they challenge them. Some are insane lunatics. But some are playing devils advocate and its not a bad thing. Conservatives do need to be more in the colleges obviously. The left has become to comfortable living free range. Time for us to set up a henhouse. Thats all.

Talk about two steps forward and 5 backwards and all the while these morons dont see this as the pure racism that it is! The two biggest dangers in college today is thinking and feeling!

[@kevinm3751]

@Jay O’Dowd Only if you change the meaning of the word which the left tend to do very well. I recall a time when "liberal" meant something completely different than what the left mutilated and turned it into. So NO diversity does not inherently divide! At least not based on the true meaning of the word! Diversity by Definition: "the state of being diverse; variety." or "a range of different things.". Neither of which have anything in common with the notion it divides but rather to describe the difference of things! Humans are what divides, much like Humans, not guns kill people!

It's not a "multi cultural" space if white ppl are less accepted. How are people supposed to feel accepted and included when you have to take count of colors to ensure there aren't too many of a certain color? If there even can be too many people perceived as "white", the name needs to be changed to "the poc room". Could you imagine if some light skinned person stood up and said there's too many black people in here taking it over and whites and light skinned don't feel safe in here.???? Why do people claim to feel safe in one room but not in any other part of a full university? There's no extra security. Why are students claiming to not feel safe on campus at all? How many white people were actually in the mcs at the time of that girl's statement? The camera conveniently diesnt show. How many actual white ppl were there vs how many ppl perceived to be white.? How many people were in the room all together? A multicultural space where everyone should be welcome and not discriminated because of your race, and their going to force a racial head count before you can chill there. What nasty irony.

[@classycactus8449]

When you hear someone say "we need to be more mindful..." you know they are a postmodernist ideologue. Also, it is a multicultural center, not a multiracial center, so the only way for you to say that the center is primarily intended for minorities is if you say that all white people have the same culture, which is complete nonsense. There are plenty of minority cultures within groups of white people. Also, when you put "multi" in the name of a center, that means that it is intended for all people, not just minorities. Had they named it the minority racial center, which is what it is in practice, the only controversy would be that it sounds a whole lot like segregation. Another peculiar aspect of this is: who would go to a student center? Why waste your time sitting in a random room with random people on campus? Don't those students have classes to go to, lunches to eat, or homes to go to? Seems to me like a colossal waste of time to go to any student center, unless there is a specific activity to do.

Multicultural...did you know that there is a myriad of different races and cultures that are white and so these in themselves are also multicultural? The dictionary definition is thus: Multiculturalism is a situation in which all the different cultural or racial groups in a society have equal rights and opportunities, and none is ignored or regarded as unimportant. So it's a multicultural space which means ALL people of ALL races and ALL cultures should be permitted. And seriously.
