White Friends Only!

I call myself and Luis milk and chocolate, a perfect combination.

Funny! I personally didn't see the big deal in the original post. I am white, my man is black. I think minority groups can, and are entitled to, seek out friends who have similar upbringings, culture, prejudial experiences, whatever.

As the majority white man we don't always get that.

Would people take offence if I sent out a call for fellow Aussie friends?? Uling your fiance may crave the company of fellow Filipinas when she arrives in the US.

Is there a difference??!!

You are talking nationality, not race. A black american seeking out other black americans is choosing based on race. See the difference?

A black American seeking out other black Americans is choosing based on race and nationality. A Sudanese, for example, while certainly black, wouldn't fit the profile of a black American, would (s)he?

You're not even close. I'm talking a black american born and raised in the US. Would a person From Sudan only seek out other Sudanese or seek out any other African? Hatred knows no color in Africa.

What? You said that this preference is based on race rather than nationality. It isn't. It's based on race and nationality.

Moral of the story. Personally I don't mind if people stick within their own culture. It is their decision and their gain / loss. Yet, don't go being a hypocrite and cry racist when someone does the same thing to you.

Did you guys hear about this.

It is making the same point as this post, since there were black only scholarships, students at RI decided to create a white only scholarship....

The sooner affirmative BS and minority labelling ends the better it will be for the US. Everyone has to learn the meaning of equal.. The existing scholarships should be changed to benifit any underprivileged people of all color, races and backgrounds..

A $250 scholarship. Woo-hoo that will save a fortune on student loans. A smart-### publicity stunt you would expect from university student humor.

It's symbolic.
