How is that progressive?

  It's called "twisting words" or "quoting out of context". If you read the rest of the thread you'll find the alleged example of this was a dorm where students who felt isolated (because they were in a significant minority in classes in their majors) could have a place to feel that they weren't so isolated and did in fact have a community on the campus, and wasn't even off-limits to other groups -- anyone could apply to live there! Dorms with themes -- around majors, around social activities, around social groups, even around, yes, racial or ethnic identities -- are not new, not unusual and not "segregration". But of course putting it that way doesn't let someone spin it as "those goshdurned SJWs are the real segregationists", so you won't hear that interpretation from the people who repeatedly bring it up as an "example".

  Ask them, I have no right to speak for marginalized groups.

  it's called double speak. it's a tad ironic, isn't it?
