Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
What's the state of PvP like today?

good times ahead.
“People of color are allowed to create safe POC only spaces. It is not reverse racism or discriminatory.” That student wrote that it comes down to self-preservation.
How is this tolerated in 2016?

The left loves double standards and if you disagree with them they will drown you in buzzwords and masturbatory back-patting of how they are just so much more tolerant than you.

It is discriminatory, of course, but it is not "unlawful discriminatory". They are free to look for whatever kind of roommate they want, and no one can ban them from that.

Clearly it's not, since it sparked immediate outrage on campus and condemnation from the university staff, according to the article you linked. Originally Posted by oxymoronic

Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Yes, it's a classic example of racism.
Personally, I don't much care that they are racist, and don't want to live with a white person. So long as they are not legislating their ignorance and bigotry, they should be free to be racist asshats.

There is no way that these students actually believe in what they're saying. I would bet my LR-308 (which I use for hunting) that college teachers nowadays are handing out credits for this bullshit.

What qualifies as POC, like if you are 3/4ths white, are you a POC?

20 more min... That is my prediction
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.

Why cant people just say Non-whites instead of "PoC", white is a color.
I honestly dont care if someone dont want to be roomate with someone of a specific race, but dont force ut upon others, keep it to yourself.

Race threads never work out well.
Closing.
