So when these organizations decided to not be racist anymore, were BGLO's supposed to abandon their focus on their communities and go running to unify with predominately White GLO's? Yeah right. The bottom line is, the same way that cultural GLO's support each other while still serving their own communities is the same way that predominately White GLO's can support and find unity with ethnic GLO's. We don't have to be the SAME to support one another and this is the point that the guy who wrote the article is missing.

I think he was trying to imply that ethnic Greeks are exclusive and discriminatory but mainstream Greeks are not -anymore- (i.e. IFC and NPC Greeks only happen to be predominantly white nowadays because people of other races choose not to join and "mix" with them).

I pay articles like this one absolutely no mind.
Our unity rally following that article was quite impressive (we even had organizations from other schools join us), but actually many NPHC organizations did not even come out. We learned later that they didn't even think it was worth the bother, and it seems like you feel the same way? Out of curiosity (if it's true!), what do you think is the best way to respond to articles like that--? Or do you think they should simply be ignored?

Sorry, I know this isn't on topic, I just had to ask this question
