They can have whatever living arrangements they choose provided it's not publicly financed - which I assume it is being that it is off-campus. But those quoted in the article are clearly idiots because you can be Hispanic and white.

The Claremont Colleges have a bunch of college owned off-campus apartments, which is probably what the add refers to considering the low rent involved. ($450/mo)
(But the Claremont Colleges are private anyway even though it is likely campus owned housing.)
How would the public react if white students publicly said they only want to live with whites? My guess is that the school would be forced to kick them out. Right?
Well of course, don't you know , only white people can be racist.
LOL at the silliness of reporting on Facebook threads.
But FWIW I'm black and I did go to an HBCU and my grandmother was glad that I did so I wouldn't have a white roommate. She thought white people were filthy housekeepers and was happy I didn't have to deal with that. I lol'd at her but told her that was racist.
I just looked at your link and; all 3 of the people there def look "anglo white" to me. The idea of "People of color" is a bad joke IMHO since some anglos are have darker skin than many Hispanics and so on.
I have zero issues with her request. She should be free to choose anybody from any race she wants to live with. Everybody should have that right and the ability to express it.
Personally, I wouldn't care what race my roommate was as long as they were pleasant to be around.
I agree(freedom of association) but if it were a white person doing the same, someone would be screaming racism at the top of their lungs.
Just as I don't believe the government should tell you which neighbors you have to invite over for dinner, I also don't believe they should tell you who you feel comfortable renting to.
My exception is in regards to specific essential services like hospitals, pharmacies, etc. if denying a service will most likely lead to actual harm, you must serve everyone; otherwise, you can choose who you want to invite to a picnic or to whom you sell a burrito.
"People of color," as the term is used by the people who originated it, are apparently everybody but European "whites". It is a fabricated divide contrived by a certain group of especially proactive racists in our society that they use to single out European "white" people in order to try to play off everyone else off against them. It is a manipulative and hostile concept without biological basis that only exists to help some people forward their own racist agendas.
In fact, there is really only one basic skin color, as virtually all people have brown skin of various different shades, ranging from very light to very dark. And nobody is truly without color.
This vile phrase is as least as racist as the "n" word and should be treated as such.
