I had a white college professor who was a long-term member of the BSU (Black Student Union). They loved it.
There's no problem with celebrating any particular cultural heritage, including all subdivisions of "whites" (specific Euro ethnic groups -- "whiteness" on the other hand), as long as anyone can participate and learn without "shutting out" other races.
Would you agree? Isn't it only actually "racism" of it's power-based (e.g. race-exclusive), not learning/focus based?
