These are entities and institutions so of course they will TECHNICALLY not be "white" seeing as though socially constructed race categories would TECHNICALLY only apply to humans.

Once again:

PWI = predominently white (which typically means historically white), not exclusively white *anymore*
HWGLO = historically white (which typically means predominently white), not exclusively white *anymore*

But if it offends SOME of the people on Greekchat so much, since I haven't been informed of such an uprise in the real world over such acronyms, I will TRY to remember not to type it.
