Fairly certain my uni's Japan club back in uni got all sort of ethnicity. Same to the Malaysian club which my friend attended for free BBQ. But they are more on cultural promote group rather than actually "civil right" promotion Edit: was just planning to make a joke, but i simply couldn't find any stereotypes related to white people that does not have notion of racist and discrimination in some way. It's like (stereotypical speaking) the only reason for a group of all white people to gather, is to put on their white hood and go out hunting some poor black soul. Untrue of course. But it is simply really hard to find any other stereotypes

We had a whole spectum of clubs in High School because we had a new rotating hour long study block that no one had any idea what to do with. So we had clubs...lots and lots of clubs. African-American Club. Latinos club. Muslims Club. Filipino Club. I think a Hindu club, maybe an Afghan club, and probably a whole bunch others that I don't remember (along with a Gaming Club, and a Earth Club and others).
A group of us in the band just thought about it one day and figured that there was no way anyone could attempt a white club for any reason, as it would automatically be considered racist in the mid-1990s. Reguardless of what we did, because the idea would be out there as "Whites Only"...which has very racist meaning still.

In that sense these clubs must be there to fight for their own right. Not for the general public, but specifically WHITE citizens as they identify themselves. But if that is the case, surely it will be racist, if you blame/believe that you or your country are in disadvantage because the existence of another ethnic group (without being discriminated yourself).

It doesn't make all that much sense to talk about unified white heritage. Any sort of unified identity that developed in America wasn't based on whiteness, but rather being American, unless you happen to be trying to use it as a way to distinguish white people from people of other races. That's the reason many people find it suspect. That's a pretty weak justification compared to African Americans, who can make a more plausible claim to having a unified cultural heritage. Even though their ancestors came from all over Africa, they ALL got indiscriminately tossed into slave ships and sent to America. Where as White immigrants got to form ethnic neighborhoods to retain their ethnic identity, African slaves all got jumbled together into the same social category of dark skinned slave. It's why most African American's identify as black, as opposed to a specific region in Africa.

"white identity" reeks of racial motivations, while similar black organization can be an African heritage identity. I mean, really, culturally and historically, white nations don't exactly identify each other as one common root or identity.
