While I agree with much of what
you say,
I beg to differ on a certain point:
It's not like there's one group doing the separating. Holding things like Latin Emmy's or Black Music Awards or whatever else are segregating them as different from others. If there were a White-Only Awards show all hell would break loose.
Latinos and
blacks, as well as
Jews,
Mormons and other minorities, not to mention
women, have been discriminated against through all of the White-Male-Protestant American history. Being minority groups, the chance of discrimination by these people hurting others is low, to say the least, and their need to unite in cultural (and sometimes physical) self-defense is relatively high. A
black sorority in
Kenya or a
Jewish club in
Israel will be as discriminating as a white-Protestant only establishment in the states, but the
Latin Emmy or
Black Music awards are only giving people a second chance they may well need. As we all tend to practice
ingroup favoritism subconsciously, until the day people don't define groups by ethnic background, sex and religion lets give minorities the second chance they need: they encounter more people who perceive them to be part of an
outgroup, after all.
