White Student Union at Georgia State automatically equated to Nazis, KKK
A Freshman at Georgia State University in Atlanta is taking heat for requesting permission to start an officially "informal" student group specifically for whites as a place where they can get "in touch with who you are as a white person and being proud of that," as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, WTSP of Tampa, Florida, and the All Alabama news portal the on Aug 1, 2013.
First year student at GSU Patrick Sharp of Birmingham, Alabama may have already stirred up a hornets nest but he's assuring all it's simply much ado about nothing.
Upon entry to the downtown Atlanta school, Sharp states he couldn't help but notice the wide and varied assortment of student groups on campus.
One racial minority group that didn't have its own student organization specifically for them were the students of Caucasian heritage, who comprise 38 percent of the student population despite being 63 percent of the overall population of the Peach State.
