african americans,latino americans,asian americans- you choose to be called by your ethnicity-you do not wish to be just an 'american'
and if a white book club was to make a point-exclusion of whites by blacks is real and seen everyday

Ok well think about it. What was your purpose in making a White American book club? Did you honestly create that club to talk about literature with other white people and connect that literature to issues in your lives?
The thing is - you made a White American book club to 'make a point'. The African American book club was made so black people could connect the literature they're reading to their similar, shared culture.
African American culture is a unique, distinctive culture to America. But what is white culture?

I'm black and not like that so I'm not sure how to answer this but it is funny that you would call it a WhiteAmerican club because a white person can come from a foriegn country to America and would just be labeled "American." But if a person of color comes from a foreign country to America they're not American but Latin American, Asian American, or African American. Even the Native Americans can't just be American and this was their land.

properly, the US census defines Arabs, Berbers and different North African communities as Caucasian. As for Asians being broken into diverse communities its to checklist the upward push of immigration from the main populated continent in the international. additionally whats your definition of Asian? using fact somewhat some the cases Indians are not secure in the definition so as that still leaves lots out of problems with solidarity your speaking approximately.

Because it justifies there community's current standing and makes them mad.
This spread of victimization is crazy. Yes slavery was bad and discrimination is bad, but you are the only one who can get yourself out of the ghetto.

you are as transparent as they come, your ignorance and racism is shining through. I feel sorry for you really, ignorance is bliss and if you knew better you would do better. I hope that at some point in your life you grow up and educate yourself and find a cause worth fighting. Bigotry, hatred, racism call it what you want it is all ignorant. And it is really coming though in your statement. You are see through right now and I am going to pray for you. God bless Why did you not also state the details of your lawsuit, because it is all in your mind. What are you afraid of, color doesn't rub off, and some intelligence may. You sound obsessed and very immature. Get over yourself.

maybe it is because they feel they have to have something that is just theirs, to go along with the united ***** college fund, miss black america, NAACP, etc, etc, etc. and the list goes on. Yes, they can call it that but if we use the word ***** we almost get shot!!!
so if my family moved to the US from Russia three generations ago can I call myself Russian American?

I don't know any black women obsesses with white discrimination, stop generalizing. When I hang out with my black friends, that's not what they talk about. In fact you seem like the one obsessed since you're talking about it.
