Seattle University is holding a retreat designed to make white people feel like second-class citizens and non-whites to feel superior to their white colleagues. The racist event, called “Rooted: A retreat for students of color.” The university is a private Jesuit Catholic University that appears to have abandoned the basic tenets of its own faith.
The campus ministry says of the event, “This retreat is a time for students who have been historically excluded by dominant systems due to their racial or ethnic identity to just be. We will travel off campus to be in community with other students of Color, to have fun, reflect, and build potential lifelong connections.” Sounds like a POC-supremacist (aka racist) event to this writer.

Excerpt:
Seattle University is hosting a retreat specifically advertised for “students of color” this weekend, saying it will provide rest to individuals who have been “historically excluded by dominant systems due to their racial or ethnic identity.”
The event, “Rooted: A retreat for students of color,” is a project of the private, Catholic Jesuit university’s campus ministry and MOSAIC Center. The university also hosts special retreats for “faculty and staff of color” and for students with “marginalized genders,” according to its website.
The Rooted retreat became an annual event three years ago, according to a post on the center’s Instagram page. It says that the weekend event is an “opportunity for students of color to find rest, explore intersecting identities, cultivate community, and have fun.”
“This retreat is a time for students who have been historically excluded by dominant systems due to their racial or ethnic identity to just be. We will travel off campus to be in community with other students of Color, to have fun, reflect, and build potential lifelong connections,” the campus ministry website states.
