How do you feel about identity based housing?

I disagree with it. Especially for first-years, the idea of separating people, even willingly, from each other, based on race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or even interest, is just another way of segregation, and segregation is the only thing it will promote. It's practically a form of discrimination. As someone who wants to integrate herself with people of other cultures and interests, I find it offensive that someone would not even give me a chance to get to know them.
