Student Patrick Sharp organizes 'White Student Union' at Georgia State University | wtsp.com

So once again someone who knows nothing about their own heritage decides to create a club devoted to 'Whites'. 'White' is not a race. Ask your folks where you from. are you German? Irish? Ukrainian? Its not that hard to figure out, then make a club for it. Im pretty sure a "Swedish American Club" would go over well at a university where 'White' is no the majority. Heck even an 'American Club' - devoted to the pride of being an American etc etc, would sound even better. If you dont want to take the time to figure out what you are then of course your aim is gonna seem ignorant and be ridiculed. That's just what I think.

Liberal hypocrisy. The same inane argument could be made re: countries for an Asian or Black club, yet Lefties don't whine and moan about their existence.

What's the big deal? "White" is a bad word now? Apparently they have a "Black" Student Union, a "Latino" Student Union, so why can't there be a "White" Student Union? BTW, "Black" is not a race either. It has nothing to do with ethnicity, just the color of your skin. What's so hard to understand about that?

German, Irish, Ukrainian, are races and not ethnicities?

The things we learn on these boards.

The company that I retired from made it mandatory to attend a diversity class. The class was 5 days long and 12 hours a day and you could not leave without permission from the instructor. I learned more then I ever wanted to know about race from that class. The instructor was a professor from some eastern university.

He informed us that the majority race was Caucasian and Caucasians only came from the Great Britain. You are a minority if you are from Italy or Germany, etc. Yes, he informed us that white is not a race. If this is true then Black should not be a race.

How about the "The Non Minority Club"? That should make everyone happy.
