I agree wholeheartedly with the above. What purpose does a "caucasian club" serve? its obvious that this girl is just trolling. If she were really serious about celebrating culture and heritage, she'd make a "world wide culture and heritage club". What white suburbia fails to realize is that "ethnic clubs" in high schools and colleges have purposes other than to just hang out with people of your own race. In some instances, they provide a safe, non-judgemental environment and allow people to feel more comfortable. Some groups try to disseminate information about their culture and history. Thinking of them as a 'blacks' or 'asians' club is incredible superficial.
As whites are currently the majority (or the major minority, depending on where you are) and everybody grows up learning about american/european history, and grows up marinated in mainstream american culture via the media, it seems superfluous and rather insulting to have a 'caucasian club'.
