Black and Latino students at the University of Florida are protesting a plan to build a new building to house both of their student organizations, because it would allegedly "erase and marginalize their black and brown bodies" by forcing them to occupy a shared -- though enormous -- space, according to the College Fix.
Two old campus houses were razed in order to build a new U-shaped building that would house two organizations; the Institute of Black Culture and the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Culture. The initial plan was to split the building into two wings that would only be connected by a walkway and an elevator, a project expected to cost the school upwards of $6.3 million.
Also included in the plan was a joint assembly room that would allow for co-hosted activities as well as events for either organization to hold on their own. It should also be mentioned that other student groups would have an option to use the assembly space, as well.
But soon after the plans were announced, protests erupted, spawning a petition, several community gatherings, and a march held on the University of Florida campus by students who now claim being asked to share a space with another ethnic student group somehow diminishes their own group's "mark on campus."

Those poor ignorant Latino students. Don't they know they are lower than blacks on the National Grievance Caste System? As such, they have second class citizen status in terms of their rights.
Now if this had been Native Americans, preferably gay and/or trans, handicapped, and raised by single mothers, they would have won hands down.
