The two events were encouraged to be racially segregated, cafe-style discussions, one for students who are \u2018BIPOC,\u2019 meaning black, indigenous, and people of color, and one for \u2018Non-POCs,\u2019 apparently meaning a whiter shade of pale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c\u2018The Non-POC (People Of Color) Cafe is a space for students that do not identify as persons of color to gather and to discuss their experience as students on campus and as non-POC in the world,\u2019 according to an online notice. \u2018The Cafe will be facilitated by a non-POC faculty\/staff member to ensure that discussions are kept safe and respectful.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe university issued a statement saying the bimonthly BIPOC meetings were meant to provide students from \u2018marginalized communities a space that allowed for them to exist freely without having to normalize their lives and experiences,\u2019 while the Non-POC meetings should give white students \u2018the opportunity to deepen their understanding of race and racism without harming or relying on students of color to educate them.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are teaching students to be sensitive of racial issues, it begs the question of why you\u2019d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/princeton-department-conducts-racially-segregated-mandatory-racial-bias-training-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">want different races to be sensitive over different things<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Princeton Theological Seminary segregated participants in its mandatory racial bias training by race [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe training, led by Laurie Carlsson and Dr. Michelle Majors, offered three separate spaces for students and faculty to participate: A \u2018white-only space\u2019 to \u2018grapple with our whiteness and how we\u2019ve been socialized, in a way that does not harm our colleagues and co-students of color,\u2019 a separate group \u2018only open to students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color,\u2019 and a group for participants \u2018uncomfortable with either of these scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Footage of this insanity:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3qFgBxv_LgY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
