My son is a senior in high school. One day last week the subject of cultural clubs came up in his history class. There is a hispanic club, african american club, and an asian club. Asked the teacher why they couldn't have a caucasian club. Of course the response from some of the other students ranged from, "Because it would racist", 'Yeah why can't we," Because my family were slaves and it would be racist." These were comments that kids in his class said. My question is Why can't he start one? Why is it okay for every other culture to celebrate and promote pride in their culture and ethinic group but anyone who is of the caucasian ethinic group are not aloud to because they are considered racist? We have raised our kids to be senitive to all cultures and ethinic groups. But my kids see the reverse discrimination when it come to clubs and celebrations. My son is going to try and start this club but it will take time. He believes that he should have the same rights as his fellow classmates. As long as the club promotes positive behavior and cultural diversity what harm is it?? I would like to hear what you all have to say. Please respond to this question
Is is okay to have a Caucasian Club in the school systems?
Aren't most school clubs caucasian clubs? I'm not justifying the double standard, but it's the same reason we don't have WET in TV... when the powerful majority bands together and excludes minorities it just seems worse than when the less-powerful minorities band together, I guess. Especially since there's usually already plenty of unofficial "caucasian clubs" to join and "white entertainment television" to watch. If it were some minority of white people (the "Irish" club, the Italy Club, Judaism Club, the hockey club, etc.) it wouldn't seem as backwards, I guess.

I understand your point. One, you're in California. Nuf said. Technically, most fair-skinned people are not actually "Caucasian". Why? Because the Caucasus Region is an actual place from whence the term "Caucasian" was derive. Caucasus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Call the group, The American Club instead. Everyone else is a ____________-American (ie., Black-American, Chinese-American, Mexican-American etc...)
