A student in a California high school wants to start a "Caucasian" club - but the membership rules aren't quite what you'd expect:
Lisa McClelland says she isn't a racist. She says her campaign for a Caucasian Club at her California high school is a move toward diversity, not bigotry. She says everyone is invited -- and nobody will be excluded.
McClelland's ethnic background includes American Indian, Hispanic, Dutch, German, Italian and Irish. She says she and her friends feel slighted by other clubs at Freedom High School in Oakley, such as the Black Student Union and the Asian Club.
I can understand why she feels slighted. But if everyone's included, why call it the Caucasian Club? Just to make a point? Just to get under the skin of the PC crowd? Just to give the principal fits? I mean, if you want to get creative and funny with names in ways that will make your principal break out in hives, this is the way to do it.
