"Whitey - You're Clearly Not Part of The Master Race!"

Censoring Caucasian College Clubs

By Jeannie DeAngelis

West Chester University, based in West Chester, Pennsylvania, is presently embroiled in a debate over flyers advertising the establishment of a "White Student Union." According to school officials, the flyers were part of an effort to "organize students who are against racism." While that may be true, the dither over a potential student union raises questions and concerns far deeper then the formation of a campus club.

For years now it's been commonplace for black, Caribbean, Haitian, Asian-Pacific Islander, and Native American students, as well as an untold assortment of subgroups, to establish clubs on college campī across the nation. The supposed goal of cultural/racial college club affiliation is to provide an enriching atmosphere, address the specific needs and concerns of racial and ethnic groups, and offer opportunities to learn about the varied cultures, mores, and distinctions specific to students attending American colleges and universities.

However, rather than fostering on-campus unanimity, in essence, higher education has, in the name of sensitivity, funded and supported segregation by encouraging the formation of clubs according to skin color, gender, country of origin, and sexual orientation. The only categories excluded from the standard club lineup are those that represent concerns and interests specifically germane to the white student.

The West Chester University (WCU) student body is 86% Caucasian, yet the campus majority is underrepresented in club formation opportunities granted the remaining minority population. According to the National Center of Educational Statistics (IES), as of 2009, there were 4,409 degree-granting institutions in the United States. Of those colleges and universities, it appears that practically none sponsored or supported campus-based white student unions.
