Will I don't agree with Racial clubs.
If they wanted a Scotish Club, or a Newfie Club or whatever than that would be OK. I don't agree with Black clubs either, an African club is OK because you could be a caucasian African. Cultural clubs are great but basing clubs on skin color alone is dumb. Korean, and Chinese clubs are OK, because it is not race but culture. Others can attend to get a taste of the culture. Is this club about race or Culture, it sounds more like race than culture. [ 09-19-2003, 10:42 AM: Message edited by: pritchke ] |

It seems to me that this club is questioning the validity of clubs that are more about race than culture. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Since black and white are technically not colors that wipes out two coloured groups. Yes I am against NAACP until they change their name and treat all people equally.

Perhaps a more appropriate name for a club to address the issues of racial disparity would be the racial disparity club.
edit- a dictionary defintion of the word Caucasian: Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) Caucasian \Cau*ca"sian\, a. 1. Of or pertaining to the Caucasus, a mountainous region between the Black and Caspian seas. 2. Of or pertaining to the white races of mankind, of whom the people about Mount Caucasus were formerly taken as the type. [ 09-20-2003, 01:29 AM: Message edited by: Chewbacca ]
