It's the same old double-standard that permeates our society today. It is acceptable for every socio-economic group EXCEPT white males to have thier own club, fraternity, or group.

This is highlighted by the comments from the NAACP representative regarding this case...{quoted below}

Darnell Turner, vice president of the East County chapter of the NAACP, spoke out against the 2002 incident and says McClelland's Caucasian Club sounds like a bad idea at a time when the campus is trying to heal fresh emotional wounds.

"It will not allow us to heal that divide that we've tried to overcome in the past couple of years," Turner said. "If her motivation is to bring harmony, as she alleges, this is not the way to go."
[/QUOTE]According to Mr. Turner, the Caucasian Club will not allow the school to "heal the divide that we've tried to overcome", but he doesn't make any mention of the Black Student Union or Asian Club also contributing to this divide. No, only a "white" club will cause problems...but all other "ethnic" clubs are apparantly OK.
