Imagine a white person walking into an all black club. Get the picture? They would not get a very good welcome. It may be against the law but they would not give him the red carpet treatment.

This isn't an answer.

Nice try.

Keep in mind that the terms "white" and "Hispanic" are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

This is absolutely bogus, and offers a great reflection on how you view other races as dangerous and intimidating.

I've been a participant of African American and La Raza (Hispanic) clubs in high school and college, and plan to in law school. I also have many friends at law school that are members of these clubs, and they are more than welcome.

Thank you.

And anymore, its hard for people to distinguish between being black and white as well.

Why is that not an answer, or you mean one that YOU agree with.

Listen. Keep it light. The Terms of Service for this forum are clear. If this thread gets too heated, Moderators will close it down. Tips: don't use absolutes (all, never, all, none, etc...) and don't directly attack posters with your comments.

FYI

I asked my son what would the club focus on. This is the same question he has to answer before he can petition for the club. American has a long history. Revolutionary war, civil war, cowboys and indians, mayflower, etc. He also believes it might be a great incentive for other members to learn the history or geaniology( I know that isn't spelled right. Sry) of his and their ancenstors.

You didn't say anything.

I asked you to articulate just what a "white club" would identify with, and all you said was "well, there's too many white people to distinguish amongst, so we should just call them white."

Sorry, but why would someone with Russian roots want to identify with someone with Scottish roots? Simply because their skin isn't brown? Come on.

Make a point first and then I'll tell you if I agree or disagree with it.
