Before I start, I am Black-British and of Nigerian descent.
There are many societies at universities up and down the country which are only for people of certain races. Why?
I mean, if there were white only societies, they'd surely be branded racist? The ethnic societies contain people that have probably experienced racism but to intentionally isolate yourself by joining a society at university for people of the same colour, aren't you just encouraging it?
I kind of shunned the ACS at my university because of this. Don't get me wrong, I love myself and 'my people' but I loathe the mentality of these societies. Maybe there's something I'm missing. I'm very open to the opinions and beliefs of others on TSR and I'd love some input from someone that is part of one of these university societies that could change my view.
Thanks
