Pretty shameful. I'm glad my fraternity embraces trans men, and explicitly allows for their entry in our national bylaws. Greek life needs to get with the times.

Ironic since it's highly unlikely that any of them are actually Greek.

Kinda sucks when minorities bash other minorities.

It's almost as if skin color has nothing to do with one's capacity to be a cunt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not American, but frats etc seem deeply anti social.

Isn't it just... Legitimised bullying and exclusion?

i assume it's to prepare students to life outside, where they will be bullied and excluded

Outside what? School? .because school is where the vast majority if exclusion and bullying takes place into be world... No ody is more experienced with bullying than people for ed to be in schools with eachother.

The basic premise of what you're tryna say doesn't make sense.

someone introduce this person to systemic racism

Lemme guess? You are American?

nope

Then living in a British city and under 30.. defo went to a British uni.

wrong again, bob... are you going to go through 200 countries one by one cause this is the most boring guessing game I've ever seen. if you have a point try to make it without shenanigans and be done with it.

Ideally it's a social club. I didn't plan on joining a fraternity in college, but I was invited to join by friend who were in one. It's a specifically anti hazing organization and has a leadership education program that we all did that probably would have been really useful if I wasn't a shit head college student. I still play D&D with friends I made there who I may not have met otherwise.

Like any social club the culture comes from the members, if you have a bunch of exclusionary bullies then that's what you get, and that's all too common.

How bigoted, the trans black men should start their own fraternity and invite all black men to join.

I've been saying this for a while. Once the racist white underbelly realizes they have a useful idiot in bigoted immigrants and religious zealots by synergizing their hatred we are fucked.

Varinder from India may not hate other races like John from Mississippi but what they both agree on is there's only 2 genders and gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry.

Varinder probably hates other Indians that are a shade darker than himself lol

And possibly Chinese and Pakistani people. Hate knows no single home. It's laid it roots in many people in many places.
