By what everyone has been defining racism as, I am a racist:
I don't want most minorities in my chapter. Not because I think any less of other races, but because there are deep-rooted differences, and I joined a fraternity to find brothers I had things in common with. A lot in common.
I would never discriminate (and have not) in the workplace, in the classroom, or any other organization. I know I'm going to get reamed for this but understand- I honest to God am no sort of white supremecist. I just know that there are fundamental differences among races, and because there are plenty of other places to mix, I don't think my fraternity should be thought of as racist.
DSTChaos- we live in a "segregated" society because EVERYONE recognizes these differences.

I think what I have a bigger problem with is your missue of the term/construct of race. At least you're open with your biases and discrimation so people know what they're dealing with, and frankly I respect that a hell of a lot more than a closet bigot. A lot of what I believe you're referring to as "differences among races" are social constructs and have nothing to do with skin color, eye and nose shape, or even how one spells their last name. People grow up in all kinds of families and economic structures, and I know plenty of people who are not checking the white/caucasian box, but are interested in some activities you have mentioned. Race isn't defined by genetics or physical characteristics.
Of course I live in a completely different part of the country, but we have our history of hatred to the point in recent history a nearby city completely shut down operation to protest a KKK parade.
