    It's not a "default white space" if anyone of any race can go there. So, if there are "places for minorities to meet up and support each other", there should likewise be places for whites to do the same. Fair is fair, after all.

      No one is stopping them from associating in white-only groups on their own time

      They're likely to get expelled...and it certainly wouldn't be supported by the college.

      Considering that other groups have had less access to colleges

      They currently have more access.

        Well, if they start to wear white hoods and chant they will not displace us.

        Moving the goalpost. Whites are not allowed to have white-only groups.

        Well, more if you mean before they didn't have any and now there is an effort to remedy that.

        Access to white people is not a human right.

        There's a difference between not supporting affirmative action because you think it's not meritocratic and flat out ignoring that some people have disadvantages socioeconomic or otherwise.

        It's called being privileged. A privilege mistakenly given by whites to non-whites that now are used to privilege and more begets more.

        Not saying that people have "privilege" which is a word I dislike

        I will say it. Non-whites are privileged.

        but some people have disadvantages that the government can step in to even out the playing field.

        Reframed: The government can discriminate against whites to favor non-whites in our own countries.

        if you're black and don't go to college and get it all paid for, you must be choosing not to go.
