Presumably the "greek" kids are now attending Harvey Milk...

But seriously, my school in the Bronx had an Italian Club, a German Club, and a Gaellic Society. The reason they had "African American" Clubs is because of the unfortunate fact that most black teenagers have no way of knowing what their true nationality is. The reason they have Asian Clubs is because there are rarely enough Asian students of one single nationality.

The number of single nationality whites is declining due to intermarriage. White Americans whose families have been in the U.S. for three or more generations that are of a single nationality. The girl at the center of the controversy is of Scottish, Irish, Hispanic, and German heritage, and is partially non-white (American Indian). Does she go for the haggis, the corned beef, the tacos, or the bratwurst?

There are some exceptions. Most white Southerners are descended from 17th and 18th Century settlers from the British Isles. There are portions of the Upper Midwest that are still basically German, Dutch, or Scandinavian. A few ethnic neighborhoods still hang on in the Northeastern and Great Lakes cities, although the vast majority of the "Ellis Island" immigrants have long since migrated to suburbia or the Sun Belt.

There is nothing different in the development of a common white or Euro-American identity than what Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, and blacks have done in bridging their internal differences to forge a common identity. However, in the Orwellian world of liberalism, whites are not permitted the same liberty that non-whites have in these matters.

Last time I was in the Bronx they had Italian, Greek, Kosovar, Celtic, and Black BLOCKS.
It's still segmented and, if not segregated, at least identifiable by the country of someone's grandparent's origin.
Only natural to have each group form their own clubs - it used to be that way out here (L.A.) as well but most of the european groups got over it.
Having done that, they seem to have come up with no alternative other than to be "the bad guys" or "the norm" (not any more)for others to hammer at.
