Just making sure you weren't like some whites who use such terms to seem cool and "down for the cause."

"Self-segregation" isn't an all inclusive phrase and isn't inherently bad. In fact, most forms of segregation aren't self-imposed but their harm is measured by outcome versus intent. What's the harmful outcome of the existence of BGLOs and MCGLOs? I don't see one.
But the fact that you thought people had stopped separating themselves makes me wonder what planet you just arrived from.

Not at all.

No, I don't. Most whites claim that.

Because many of these minorities believe that it just so happens that their GLOs were founded by whites and consist mainly of whites. So they've bought into the jibberjabber that whites are capable of controlling organizations without furthering whites' interests and reflecting "white culture." Therefore, at least within the confines of their organization, they believe there's no such thing as "white culture"/"white interests" aside from plain old people/mainstream/collegiate/Greek interests.
Whether they believe that jibberjabber when they aren't hanging out at the fraternity house is another story.
