MIT Defends Blacks Only Dorm Because It Is Selective Inclusion Not Selective Exclusion

From the College Fix: "MIT president defends blacks-only dorm: ‘Positive selection,’ not ‘exclusionary’." 

    The president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology defended a blacks-only dorm on her campus Tuesday before a U.S. House committee, saying the segregation is not “exclusionary” but “positive selection by students.”

    “Actually at MIT, our students affiliate voluntarily with whichever dorm they want to. It’s not exclusionary, it’s actually positive selection by students which dormitory they want to live in,” MIT President Sally Kornbluth (pictured) said during a hearing about rising antisemitism on college campuses.

    Kornbluth, who is white, spoke about the dorm, known as Chocolate City, in response to questions from U.S. Rep. Burgess Owens, a black Republican from Utah.

So does this mean that white students could positively select not to be housed with POC? Questioned on essentially the same question I raised, Kornbluth responded: "I think it’s really important to say that there’s a distinction between sending an exclusionary message and looking to other students for common experiences and support." In other words, using her logic, a sign saying "no [insert race] allowed" is wrong, but a sign saying "only [insert race] allowed" is okay.

The University of Washington's psychology department "rejected the recommendations of its hiring committee expressly because one candidate recommended was white, and then arbitrarily rearranged the rankings so that all five positions would be filled with people of 'color,' as the department’s own Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office so proudly notes, even now." The University's "punishment"--if you want to call it that--was to prohibit the department from making any tenure track hiring for two years. But remember that the "Great Replacement" is a myth.
