Webster University, located outside St. Louis, is considering a segregated safe space for white students to talk about their racism and white privilege.
The school's new chief diversity officer says they may create a whites-only safe space for Caucasian students. In the segregated space, students would talk about their white privilege and work out their inner racism.
