Because the USA is historically a white-majority country, the population have defined themselves into smaller groupings, because those are the ones that make sense, in terms of self-image and power struggles. So for example homosexuals often say that being gay is fundamental to their identity, but few heterosexuals go on "straight pride" rallies, because being heterosexual is not a distinguishing feature compared to the majority. So because a WSU wouldn't be exclusive enough to forge a separate identity, we assume it would be about white power. It is a bit like in The Simpsons when the children set up a "No Homers" club. What is the possible reason for that club, except an animus against Homer?<br /><br />But note that this is specific to USA in 2010. You wouldn't think it unusual for there to be social organisations catering to westerners in third-world countries, because there being western really is a distinguishing identity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
