“Cultural appropriation” has become a common term on campuses and is receiving broader meaning with each passing year. In Utah, a high school student was denounced for wearing a Chinese dress to her prom. White students wearing hoop earrings or dreadlocks have been denounced, while there have been protests over serving sushi at Oberlin College, holding yoga classes at the University of Ottawa or having a “Mexican food night” at Clemson University. The reason behind such limitless forms of cultural appropriation is its limitless meaning.

There have been even fewer African-American than women senators, but several could be candidates for a room of their own... Another should be Blanche Bruce, (R-Miss.) in office 1875-1881, the first African-American to serve a full term. Born enslaved, he attended Oberlin College, became a wealthy plantation owner, was appointed Register of the Treasury by President James Garfield, and served in other posts in Washington.

[Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa)] highlighted an article on the right-leaning college website The College Fix from January 2016 titled "Black students demand segregated spaces from white students." The report noted demands from minority student groups from various colleges and universities around the country that were compiled by a now-defunct web site, TheDemands.org. It included a request for an “Afrikan Diaspora floor” at UCLA and a "safe space" for "Africana identifying students" at Oberlin [College].

In [Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s] commencement address to Oberlin College in 1965, [he] said: “We must face the honest fact that we still have a long, long way to go before the problem of racial injustice is solved. ... The Negro is still at the bottom of the economic ladder. He finds himself perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. Millions of Negroes are still housed in unendurable slums; millions of Negroes are still forced to attend totally inadequate and substandard schools.”
