Justine Steele is a senior at Independence High School in San Jose, a sprawling campus of 4,054 students where 8 percent are Caucasian. Forget the numbers. "Look around," she says. There are Indians and Vietnamese, Mexicans and Filipinos.

Here, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stands out.

These public school brats need to be STUDYING not worrying about clubs.

If you want to observe the ultimate in multiculturalism, look at the prison system in California - and the make-up of the gangs in them. There nobody asks permission to form a "club;" they hang together for self-protection.

Some white students assimilate, which in high school-speak translates to "acting black"

Otherwise known as 'Wiggers'! (I kid you not)

"But let's be honest. People Liberals have a hard time separating 'whiteness' from 'racism.'

There. Fixed it right up. :)

You said the white n-word. (I hope you-know-who doesn't give you the 'boot'.)

Was the name "American Club" taken ?

[ETERNAL WARMING]

That 29% it's a bad idea group is racist. That's disturbing. There are groups for everyone else, why not Whites? Also that comment about the difficulty of separating White from racist is telling. I have no difficulty telling the difference betweent the two...but then I'm WHITE.

Caucasian kids are obviously expected to feel guilty for nonexistent reasons. On top of that neurosis they’re expected to grovel at the altar of diversity in the name of political correctness. They are expected to sacrifice the remains of their self-respect and cultural heritage on that false altar. And we wonder where the Dylan Kliebolds are coming from.

If idiots like Eminem can frown and spread hate in the name of personal expression anyone can wear whatever type of belt-buckles they want. No one except white liberals ever asked me about the Stars & Bars I hung on my wall. My black acquaintances took me for my word that it represented (to me) the spirit of people willing to rise up against government oppression, the Klan be damned. They liked that.

Name it the European Heritage Club, or Scottish Heritage club.

Heck, name it Sons and Daughters of the American Civil War Society.

You mean the w-word.

"You mean the w-word."

Yes, but I didn't want you to think I had a speech impediment.

It's so funny it cracks me up! The kids 'acting' black, I mean. They should go to NYC and drive 'thru Harlem with all their white friends in the car when they start to forget they're white . . .

Are you making fun of my stammer?
