A “Women of Color” Facebook group for students at the Claremont colleges was shut down recently after screenshots of their posts bashing Asians and whites, as well as other derogatory comments, was handed over to conservative journalists on campus.
The Claremont colleges is a consortium of five undergraduate liberal arts colleges in Southern California and the “5C Women of Color” Facebook group was only accessible to its 1,100 approved members, the Claremont Independent reports, adding its online description states the group was for those “who identify as women of color to reach out and serve as resources/support for one another.”
But it turns out, the Independent adds, that many of the page’s most popular posts mocked those who are not women of color. Here’s a sampling:
In response to her adoptive white father making jokes at her expense, [a student] posted “I just need to get this out. I hate having white parents so much.” Another student responded by instructing [her] to tell her father that “his pale ass is worthless and the sun doesn’t even like him. Talk about his receding hairline, the fact that he probably looks 20 years older than he actually is, and that he probably has a small penis.”
[Another student] elected by her peers to be the senior class speaker at Scripps College’s commencement ceremony this year and who is an acting intern at the Scripps Communities of Resources and Empowerment program—stated, “asian boys r a social issue,” to which other students responded “esp [especially] the nerdy ones who can just hide in their tech caves” and “they get all angry when it comes to how Asian men are asexualized/emasculated.” [A third student and] a staff member of the Pomona College Asian American Resource Center who sits on the “Production” and “Mental Health” committees there added, “F*ck your masculinity whiny Asian cis bros this is why I only hang out with femmes.”
Additional posts bemoaned having to take classes with white males, and another complained about a professor of color who is conservative.
After the Independent reached out to the group for further comment, the page was shut down, announcing: “In order to preserve the confidentiality of past conversations and healthy discussions that have occurred in this group, we will shut down the group … to prevent whoever is the mole from leaking more screenshots to the CI.”
