People can do whatever they want, freedom of association and all that, but on a personal level I’m not a fan of any kind of separatist group no matter what the basis. There always seem to ultimately be some pretty negative consequences associated with it, sometimes horrific, and often affecting the people that are members themselves.

I will take issue with calling a group that wishes to isolate themselves and preserve their European-American culture with segregation based on race. The original sin of the US was slavery. After slavery ended, it was replaced by segregation that left the former black slaves incapable of rising above the lowest class of Southern society. The isolationists are different. They don't want any non-Europeans in their local community. Whites will form the lowest rung of their society. Freedom of association means they can do this. Keeping their community white after it gets established will be their problem, practically and legally.
