There is a difference between a group that brings together a minority group and one that is designed to exclude minorities for racial reasons. I get annoyed by comments (not many here, but elsewhere) suggesting that the African-American houses at Alabama are “just as racist” as the all-white ones. This suggests a willful failure to understand history. The existence of all-Asian houses is a somewhat different issue, because there isn’t as much history. However, they may exist, in part, because of failure of Asian kids to get into the other houses. The reasons may vary at different schools, as well.

<p>My personal experience is that AAs are inclusive and hospitable. I have been to a number of AA events and as a caucasian, I have always felt welcome. AA houses have a unique history and role.</p>
