the same thing happens on college campuses; minorities and women marginalized themselves in the 60's, when instead of changing the existing history, sociology etc departments, they insisted on setting up their own separate departments. when i was in college, you didn't find any whites taking uh black studies classes, men in women's (oops, womyn's ) studies etc. i am supposed to be the "liberal" on this forum, but on this issue i am, well, something else.?
