A white professor at Anderson University, a Christian college in Indiana, defended the school's decision to racially segregate its diversity and inclusion discussion sessions, claiming opposition to the move was just about 'white people's feelings.'

English professor Elizabeth Boltz Ranfield took to TikTok to explain that opposition to dividing the races is hypocritical: White people create their own default 'white spaces' but then become upset when black, indigenous and people of color have their own groups. 

The school's Racial Equity Taskforce, which was set up 'to explore ways for [the school] to apply our values to areas of identity, race, and social inclusion,' recently decided to hold racially divided 'listening groups' to increase candor in talks about race and equality.

The sessions, scheduled for today and April 19, are separated into 'White Students' and 'Students of Color.' 

The measure seems to go against many Christian tenets of equality as well as the philosophy of Martin Luther King Jr., called segregation 'rationally inexplicable and morally unjustifiable' in a 1965 speech.

But Ranfield said on her April 9th social media post that white people are guilty of 'default' segregation, so these sessions are justified.
