If the group holds a car was as a fund raiser ( open to public) andsays " We only wash white people's cars", then there is a rightful complaint and the school admin should get involved and suspend, etc.

Right - while I'm all for an ignorant person (with his own money on the line, not using public property, mind you), saying, "We prefer white customers" - if they stop short of actual refusal - I can live that that (although they would rightfully be a laughingstock).

But, for the love of Gawd, lets try to allow college campuses to have groups that are diverse ( including private groups of single trait composition)

Something gets lost in this drive for diversity - while an all black organization is not only tolerated, it is encouraged (and, I maintain that a quasi-public organization like the Congressional Black Caucus should be disbanded) - and I, for one, agree that such organizations should be allowed under the right of freedom of association.

The Mensa Club should be allowed to exclude dullards, etc.

There are many obvious examples, and this is an excellent one.
