My teenage sister was quoted in today’s S.F. Chronicle, in an article regarding a high school student’s attempt to start a Caucasian/White club at another Bay Area high school.
I don’t agree with her view, but it’s nicely reasoned:
Fifteen-year-old Michelle Wong agrees.
“How are we ever going to get beyond racism if we don’t allow everyone to have their say?” asked Wong, a junior at Raoul Wallenberg Traditional High School in San Francisco, who is familiar with McClelland’s story.
Raoul Wallenberg, Wong said, is “over 50 percent Asian,” with clubs for Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans and Asian Americans.” There is racial tension even among the Asian students, Wong said.
It’s only fair, she said, that whites have their own clubs, too. “She’s not doing this to be racist,” added Wong. “She’s doing it because it makes sense.”

For the record, she reports that her words were paraphrased.
Yeah… where’s the white people club? how about the white history month?
