Gangs of white college students emerge from their gender research courses and coloring ebook remedy teams to terrorize nonwhite college students with their … presence? 

Effectively, it appears to be a giant drawback at U.C. Berkley, the place minority college students search the refuge of a Individual of Colour Home, in line with a duplicate of the POC home guidelines somebody posted to Reddit, the place they got here to the eye of The Campus Repair.
