Reply to comment by Echos_myron123 in Students tell of Black-brown tensions at Newark school ahead of town hall meeting by madsheb

So if somebody wanted to start a Spanish student union or a Irish student union those are automatically considered racist?

There are Spanish and Irish heritage organizations in the U.S. Do schools not celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month? Who do you think hosts the St. Patricks parade down Halsey Street evey year? Black student unions exist on campuses because black students have historically been discriminated against in places of education so they needed to organize to fight for their interests.
