I don't see a problem with it BUT i think a lot of people around here being caucasian / white / whatever, don't see it from the flip side.
Whites are the clear majority in the country, why would you need a group to promote the culture when in fact the culture is already mainstream.
Hispanic / black groups are often there to promote unity amongst minorities, and I see no problem with it. If they can help each other out and fight for their rights, theres no issue with it.
I think what people are ignoring (or want to ignore) is the fact that the truth of the matter is, discrimination is still out there, and whites are still (and i hate to use the word, but to get the point across..) the "ruling" majority.
Even today if you are black chances are, a white jury will find you guilty, whereas a white man may get away. Hell even in California, where everything seems so liberal, its still true.
And I personally think everyone using the argument that "so they can do it, why can't the whites" or "thats just being racist themselves" needs to think outside of themselves for a bit - if you were part of a minority where you knew the others hated you or had their biases, would you not seek companions in your own race?
Fact is, history has shown that happens to even the "whites" that immigrated here. All sorts of ethnicities formed together since the earliest days.
