Why Not? If blacks can have one so can whites. I know the whole idea isn’t socially acceptable. I’m just speaking with a little common sense (something society doesn’t really have). If it’s wrong to have a caucasian group, then it should be wrong to have a black group regardless of who is the minority and who isn’t.
Since she says that no one will be excluded, I don’t think it sounds too bad.
It all depends on whether or not she has an “agenda.”

Are so-called Black student clubs, Asian student clubs or Hispanic student clubs bad because they exclude certain people based on race or ethnicity?
What’s wrong with “agenda”? If she dos it for shit and kicks it’s fine, but if she has a deeper meaning, it’s somehow reprehensible?
I put “agenda” in quotes for a reason.
If she’s got an “agenda” (as in “secret agenda”) that she’s not admitting to, it depends on what it is. One might not approve of that “agenda.”
My sister (who is caucasian) is married to a black man. Should their kids be excluded from joining this club? If you were to look at them, they wouldn’t exactly fit your idea of “caucasian.”
But, I see that this thread is redundant. Best to go to the other one, eh?
I think the only question I would have is:
Why would anyone bother joining?
At my (small) college we had a number of ethnic clubs, including Ukranian and possibly other caucasian ethnicities (I don’t remember others, but I took little interest). All the clubs allowed anyone in, and mainly the themes of the activities were based on the ethnicity of the club (foreign language movies, etc). What would a caucasian club do? Watch english language movies (90% of them suck!*)? Eat caucasian food? Hang out? Whatever.
My guess is that the name of the club is some vague adolescent rebellion at the hypocracy of the world or some such.
Moderator’s Note: Since we already have a thread on this which is now two pages long, I’ll direct further discussion on this topic to Student Proposes Caucasian Club and close this thread.
