When white frats and sororities want to keep their group white-only, there's been a ton of support on this board for "Organizations should be able to admit or exclude whoever they want." Just saying that it's probably these same people who are outraged when white kids are excluded from something.
Full disclosure, I'm a white straight guy in my early 30s and I think this is all ridiculous.

This is a little different. When going through rush and 10% of the rushees get a bid and 1 of the 90% tries to say he/she didn't get again because she was black it a little ridiculous. There are other reasons besides color that they didn't make the cut. At Missouri there is no other reason to exclude whites except for their skin color. Can we now call them rascist?
I never went through rush so I don't have a dog in the fight.

No one's outraged that the whites weren't allowed to mentally masturbate with the omphaloskeptics at the Black Student Center. Everyone's pointing out the hypocrisy of a group begging for inclusion and diversity not practicing it themselves.

There is a distinct difference in a group claiming they want to be "equal" to other groups while also wanting to receive preferential treatment.
Organizations should be able to admit/exclude who they want, but if that's how you want it to be don't throw out the "we're not on equal footing" card when it doesn't go your way.

It's one thing to say who you want to invite into your house.
Quite another to cordone off public space and say only certain people are allowed within said *public* space.
My understanding is that this whole "safe space" thing started out with gay bars and clubs. Makes sense as they had good reason for fearing what would be said or done unto them in a space with lots of heteros were they to "be themselves" instead of being their often closeted public selves.
But now it's extended out to public spaces and every oppressed group under the sun.
Full disclosure: I belonged to an all white (okay, we had a Hispanic or two) fraternity at LSU. I don't have any problem with clubs, groups, fraternities picking and choosing who can belong. I guess that like Mardi Gras krewes they'll find a way to forcibly integrate them by saying they use public resources or find some other way to sanction or shame them into compliance.

Fair responses, all. Again I wasn't trying to stir the shite.
