Madison, I think this is a more relevant situation:

We usually packed 4 students to a room.

The students were cool about it, but us mentors were befuddled.

I am assuming that being an "unrepentant racist" is a lifestyle choice.
You have a binary solution here: Get two rooms. Two team members in each.
But when you have a panoply of situations as has been elucidated here, you may need to get separate rooms for every member of the team.
Fortunately, the students of the 2010's are far more understanding of identities and boundaries than my generation.
Just make sure that us mentors discuss the room assignments, individually, with each student beforehand.
This may maintain a status quo, keep lodging costs down, and hopefully lead to a relatively cohesive team dynamic. (Not the inevitable Robot Romances)
I never thought I would see this discussed on CD, but I think I am glad it has happened.
Thank you Mr_Moko
