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."
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.
