It'd be deemed racist I believe, although no more racist then an all black organisation in truth |

From a neutral standpoint, I believe that any organization that admits members solely on their race (be it Asian, Black or White) is not doing the right thing.
Of course this trend is undeniably evident in all the aforementioned racial groups however, while individuals of that race do not see a problem with a group for just themselves, people of rather races will definitely do so.
In my personal opinion, if a group is formed with no sane purpose of advancement but rather just to create a racial niche, it shouldn't be created. Citing a case for the NAACP, it was created at a time when people of color; as we will all admit; we're treated very unfairly. Their aim was to create equality and still is. However, anybody of any race can join the NAACP as is evident today (if you don't believe me you can ask Bill Clinton) as they serve a cause to create equality where it is lacking.
One thing to bear is that until we eliminate race from the forefront of our minds, we will continue to impede our advancement. |

No, its only okay to have asian only organisations. If white people do it, they are racist. |

Here's a good analogy:
My son asked me once, on Father's Day, "When is it kids day?"
I replied "The other 364 days of the year."
Why would we need a white only anything when we have a predominantly white everything?
As the minority populations continue to gain in size, and the white population continues to shrink comparitively, we may one day need "White History Month," or "Affirmative Action for European Americans." Probably won't see it in my lifetime. |

No, it is however perfectly acceptable to have a black only housing associaiton |

i think it depends on the demographic make up of the local community.
if you live on an island with only 100 people and they happen to be all white then it is ok, similarly if you lived on an island with only black (other ethnic minorities are available) people then it would be ok too. |

not really... it's only ok if it's all black, indian, asian, hispanic, etc...
if it's a bunch of white people, it's racist, but if it's comprised of another specific 'race' only, then its generally fine.
double standard?
(I don't like to view persons as another color or race... why can't we just see 'people'?) |

Of course it is. Why on earth wouldn't it be alright. All races have their own groups, all sections of society have their own groups.
White people have the same rights as all other races. Supposedly. |

Yes there are all black organisations so those who think it is racist should should start shouting racist both ways |

I dont see why not - blacks have black only organizations, hispanics have hispanic only orginazations but I would imagine if a white person did this it would be considered racial. People can not make you intergrate if you dont want to |

If you mean 'Is it legal in the UK?' then no.
It isn't legal to set up one which debars anyone on grounds of their colour. It is legal to have clubs for people of specific religions or foreign nationalities (e.g. you could set up a club which only admitted, say, Swedish or Nigerian passport holders).
US contributors - please note this is in the UK catagory. |

No but it's fine to have an ethnic minority company doing that because I've seen one. |

Ask a UK policeman(white) to try to form a White Police Officers Association to mimic the one for Black Police Officers. |

It's a sign of the times I'm afraid. Get used to it, as before long it's going to be a racial offence to be WHITE!!!!! |

Yes as since there a various other 'colour' organisations it would be racist not to allow a 'white' organisation.
I would prefer just to have organisations to help economically disenfranchised groups rather than put a colour on anything!
However equality now means promoting racial differences, done, I hope for the right reasons but they have the opposite effect. If you happen to have a whitish skin colour you are a racist while someone who does not can do the same but say it's cultural with no hassle!
Equality is what is needed! |

Don't see why not - even the police have a 'black police federation'...
I don't agree with any such discrimination, but if it's going to exist, it has to go both ways... |

A white organisation in a white country? That's like celebrating a coke can in a coke factory ... totally unnecessary and lame.
There are white organisations in non-white countries you know. Something tells me that most of you aren't willing to move there though because those who whine double standards can't even see past this racist illogic.
Seriously this is so lame. Oh look, I found some dirt which is no different to the thousands of other tons of dirt, should you celebrate it? |

No, if they're all white that's racist. If they are all black then that's PC and ok. |

no - that would be racist.
White folk can't have 'white history month' 'white entertainment television' or 'national white american college program' because it would be racial and unfair. Not sure what Feburary is, what BET is, or what the NAACP is, though - I'm quite sure it isn't racist or biased, though!! |

In theory, and according to logic, YES. But in practice, NO, as the PC brigade would shout it down and play the race card (don't they have any other cards? They would be useless at poker). |

In my book ---yes. Just as its ok to have green, red, black, brown, yellow or sky blue pink people only organisations. Why the hell do the politically correct brigade get soooooo upset. It doesnt mean there is anything wrong with the other colours. Nutters! |

I guess if it was the organisation of George Bush lookalikes it would ...

But generally no .... |

No because that's racist, but we can have the NAACP and that's ok. Hmmm, that's quite a double standard you have there, America. |

There's no sense in making a white people's club for a nation that's predominantly white.
While in my opinion organizations should not be based on colour, it is less acceptable for a majority to make a club vs a minority.
In areas where white is the minority the situation is completely changed. In any situation regardless of race, it's just generally rude to exclude the different. |
