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.
WET means White Entertainment Television to show the contrast btwn BET (Black Entertainment Television)

Anyone that is an American can join. Instead of always celebrating how we are so different maybe they should celebrate what brings us together.

Everyone else is a ____________-American (ie., Black-American, Chinese-American, Mexican-American etc...)


Exactly my point. If my son walked into any of the other clubs, Foul play would be called. So it is not about African America, Mexican American. It is about black, mexican, etc
