In response to Brian - full post here
Actually, I was considering mentioning this in the post. I was thinking that on this campus there are several minority groups, the Black Student Union, Latin American Society, and the Asian Club are examples. As you pointed out, this sort of mindset is only promoting segregation, it is only allowing people to pretend that race is something that actually exists.
It's easy to pretend that everyone has equal rights when the minorities have the ability to congregate together. It's like saying "look minorities are equal because they have a minority organisation. Okay, no racism here." It seems like this sort of segregation is excellent at sustaining the racism. Minorities get to group together and complain about majorities, even though nothing is actually done about those problems, because they are gathering together, excluding majorities, in order to complain about majorities.
