I think you can tell when one goes out of ones way to exclude a group that is normally involved.

Someone has to be GROUPED in the first place in order to exclude certain persons. Social strata are not "grouped." They are an aggregate....as is language, looks, sexuality....etc.

An aggregate is a body of people with similar characteristics but no enduring ties. You gave many examples.

A group is a body with identifiable binding ties. A group would be "the workers at Ford Plant #23." The "Eagles" football team. If the eagles had a picnic for the whites only, they'd be going out of their way to exclude.

Its funny that liberal PCers like yourself and the media are not outraged at BET, the negro college fund, black spring break, black pagents, etc. Lets hear you condemn those ignorant black racists for organized segregation.

Really, can anyone imagine the media storm if a exclusively white TV channel was started? It wouldn't take long for the riots to start...
