^^And that suggests that white people are the majority in a certain field and/or location. I can tell you that where my white mother grew up, she was most certainly not in the majority. She went to the only public school in her town and it was 98% black.

Honestly, I don’t understand why these groups exist. I have never understood why exclusive clubs have existed. But I think that’s just a product of the environment that I grew up in. I didn’t grow up in 50’s South Carolina where racism was heavily present.

I think one of the things I like about USC is the fact that they had a Minority Student Welcome Event at the beginning of the year during Welcome Week, but everyone was invited, not just ‘minority’ students. Inclusion, in my opinion, should be a group’s goal if they want to be a support group.
