I agree with you too. When I read the article I thought that everyone took it way too far. She even said they would study other cultures because, I think she said she was Irish or Indian, I can't remember exactly.  |

Lizzy, that was another point. She has so many different cultures mixed in her, that I think its irresponsible to call her racist. We'll see how far this letter goes. Thanks for replying |

62503, that's great that your brother did something like that, but it's a shame that it isn't there anymore since he left. Thanks for replying |

Shady Lady, the reason why she kept the name for the club is because it is politcally charged and she wanted people to get over that. I don't think that she should have changed the name at all. Why be politically correct about that? If she would have been made to change the name of her club, then all the organizations listed in my letter should have been changed to be equally politically correct. |

Funny, no one seems to scream "racist" at minority based and named organizations, but as soon as we have "The White Club", it's a problem. Why do minorities get away with things like that? Why is there such a racial double standard between the minorities and the majorities? Oh that right, when you're a minority, you become a victim of all the prejudice and segregation by the white people... |

Oh, and I would like to say that I am not being racist at all! I am open to people of different races and cultures. This topic just angers me because of the double standard, and I feel very strongly about my opinions. I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone or if you all think I'm being racist, but that is not the case. |

I still think she was foolish in creating a club focused on a race at her school. In this case she just happened to get attention because it was called the "Caucasian Club", but any other club focused on race or ethnicity should not be allowed in public school. Public school should only have club that are based on academics, the arts, and possibly sports. Any other sort of club or organization should be held privatly; and in that case she would have the chance to exclude any race she wants.  |

I agree with you Alien, but her group was NOT focused on one ethnicity, nor was she excluding anyone. She invited EVERYONE of ALL RACES to join if they wished. Also, her group wasn't the only group like that at her school. They have a Gay Student Alliance, and the Black Student Union. I don't understand why her group was singled out as racist while they have the BLACK STUDENT UNION! Holy hell, that is discriminatory against whites, Mexicans, Chinese, Indians, etc. That's the point that I was trying to make; this whole thing is a racial double standard. |

How could her club not be focused on ethnicity? It was called the "Caucasian Club". It's focused on ethnicity just as much as the Black Student Union. If it was focused on anything else it would have a different name. I understand why she did it, but it still doesn't make it right for anyone who has a club like that, no matter who they allow to join. |

This is my point, as soon as white person wants to start a club like this, everyone screams about it. Oh no, how politically incorrect. If we're going to make a stink about her poor judgement and how her club is racially segregated, then lets also attack organizations started by black people, and Hispanic Rights' Activists. Why is it so freakin terrible when a white person wants an organization for their own race? Other races do it, why can't we? Why are we the minority when it comes to this? |

Well I have always been opposed to racially based clubs, I remember there was a stupid one at the middle school I used to go to. It was called "The Hispanic Mother Daughter Club". Of course it was not exclusivly for a certain race, just named after it, but there were no white people in it. I would like to see an end to all clubs like this for everyone, clubs like these have no academic value and no place in school. Of course I feel the same about socially sponsered clubs that schools have like the National Honor Society, which despite popular belief is not only based on your grades. |
