‘White Student Union’ tests college’s boundaries

Source: Raw Story



An American university student is working to create the country’s first white student union, triggering debate over the limits of free speech.

“White culture is dying,” Matthew Heimbach, 21, lamented as he distributed flyers on campus denouncing the building of a mosque near Towson University, where he is in his last year.

“Every other single group has a union — Jewish, black. Why don’t white students get equal treatment?” said the tall, slightly heavy history major wearing a khaki jacket and a “sons of liberty” T-shirt.

<snip>

Heimbach, who denied being racist, does, however, rail against what he calls the dangers of Marxism and a multicultural society, and warns of a coming “genocide” when minority groups overtake whites in the US population.

That's true. About 60% of the white people in the USA are of German descent. slackmaster Dec 2012 #13
Not "about 60%", more like 20% Spider Jerusalem Dec 2012 #15

don't go around protesting each other's right to exist.

As an old white male, I gotta say that punks like this really piss me off.

He's got a point. Look at prime-time teevee, or the movies. Notice how few white people you see.

Yeah, I have a really hard time finding books written by, movies filmed by, and art created by white people.



I guess the question is, "What does he mean by 'white culture?'"

A German-American Society and an Anglo-American Society would make more sense.

and in the 1980 census over 25% of the population reported English ancestry, which is a number that's probably not decreased (more of those people are likely to report as "American" on the census these days).
