Reminds me of my orientation week before freshman year. They separated us by race and then told every group what special resources they had on campus and all the additional support they would receive. My group had none of these advantages bestowed upon us. At the time I found it bizarre and jarring because I had been trained to think that what I was experiencing was a "good" thing. This was almost 20 years ago.

If there is one constant in this country it's that the racists will be racist and think that just because they are racist that everyone else must be.
What's bad about the post you are responding to is the people involved think they are not racist. In fact, they think that they are actively fighting racism by doing this.
When the fact that everything is seen through the race filter ALL the time is what keeps racism alive.
