Okay.  That doesn't mean it's not an article about dumb people doing dumb things, and expecting people to buy into it.

They happen all the time.

That's my point! Who gives a ****?

I do, because I post about it, and you do, because you respond.

I guess a news channel wanting a news anchor that doesn’t sound like an idiot is “woke”?

Wokism is so out of control, it's even gotten to Marlon Brando from beyond the grave.

What struck me the most about that was the way the interviewer just let him speak, without any interruption whatsoever.  Even when he paused.

I don't think you would see that today.

Or Chinese.  Or Pakistani. 

I’m waiting for them to say that a particular person isn’t black enough to join their safe-space club.  It’s all rather silly, alright.   How will they find jobs in Canada being so afraid of whitey?

There was a Black students centre in my university back in the 1980s. There was one for Chinese students and one for Malaysian students too. Was that woke, segregated, or a social group? I'm not sure. I was never invited to join.

The tweeter and most of the replies are pretty retarded. There's a world of difference between historical segregation created by white people using the power of the state to exclude non-whites because the latter were seen to be inferior and what's being described here.

Sure, and there would be a world of difference between historical segregation created by white people using the power of the state to exclude non-whites because the latter were seen to be inferior and a white's only club on campus today along the same lines as the club described.  But we probably won't see one.

If the goal is for us all to get along (naively, I would like to see that) isn't this kind of thing counter productive?

One of the most telling comments in the original tweet is that whites are: "starting to understand how they've felt for generations?" 

Is that the point?

Yeah it's almost as if "white's only" comes with a lot of baggage. But also, why would "whites" need a support group?

No the point is articulated in the article:

Quote
Thompson said that in the lounge, “you can let your guard down and have conversations about things you’re going through … like support groups for people who have suffered trauma.”

“One of the reasons why young people struggle with their mental health is because they think they’re the only ones to go through what they’re going through,” she said. “Having these spaces makes you more confident and say, ‘oh, I’m not alone.”

If the point of such segregation is because some students struggle with their mental health because they think they’re the only ones to go through what they’re going through, and “Having these spaces makes you more confident and say, ‘oh, I’m not alone.”, then I can't see why literally any group can't have them.  It's not like that doesn't happen to all types of people.

I suspect I was fairly close to the mark in my original comment.  At least for some people, anyway.

I think that, especially in a current university setting, the best thing for people of that age, just starting out on their own, is to integrate.  Learn how to get along. It might be the first time many students have found themselves in a truly multicultural setting, and it ought to be part of the experience.  It's not as though today's universities are hotbeds of white supremacy.

Who said no other group can have them?

You're making it sound like these kids will never interact with a person from another background because of these clubs, that's just silly.
