All white guys (not that there is anything wrong with that). One pretend minority from Spain. All were there in a public meeting that had nothing to do with politics but they all bashed Trump and the immigration policies he is for. It was a libbie one-upmanship orgy of virtue signaling. Bottom line of one president - we must go out of our way to educate people based on race. If you are poor and white - fuck you. This is how these people think, or at least, publicly chest thump.

There are no conservative one-upmanship orgy of virtue signaling aka Gateway Pundit, Alex Jones, etc.
I don't keep up with these sources, but are they arguing for affirmative action and special outreach programs for white people? Two of the universities were public institutions and funded by the state's residents which include likely, Trump supporters, and holders of viewpoints contrary to what the presidents were espousing. But the point is, their section at this meeting had nothing to do with politics, but there it went.

If this was a meeting promoting white power and religious freedom for evangelicals - would it really be any different ?
The agenda of the meeting was focused on creating regional economic growth, and so the diatribe was a bit off-topic, but illuminating. Regarding affirmative action, programs are typically race and ethnicity based (i.e, Indians from south of the border). I haven't seen any that specifically reached out to white Americans. I had earlier provided a link to a pro-diversity event at one of these universities where an academic was insinuating that the stories of white people were not remarkable, unlike the stories of the people of color students. it is endemic and I believe, in some cases, a juvenile idealism that has become twisted into (self) race dislike or even hatred.

Yeah, some more detail would be helpful. Is there a transcript somewhere? Also, does the guy from Spain consider himself to be a minority, or are you putting words in his mouth?

Affirmative action is not always based on race

Yes, sometimes it is based on gender, which is just as wrong.

These have no power, while Univ presidents can and do institute race- and gender based admission preferences, race- and gender based scholarships etc, which is blatantly wrong. These should be income-based, if anything, but that would take away mantra about "Fucking White Males". Income-based scholarships would also take away any reasonable rhetoric that far-right has (and which in this particular case is very justified).

As someone working at a university, I can confidently say that there are none if you are talking about white males.
