This is obvious to most people, but some people (like those in this topic) are inspired to argue in bad faith. They know the BET isn't exclusive / racist..

Considering how anything with the word "white" in it is automatically assumed to be a genocidal organisation, it's fair to assume using other racial terms is also racist.

Remember, The Organisation for Furthering Black Interests in the Media isn't actually a big thing, loads of people haven't even heard of it.

I'm going to pretend you don't know any better because I'm bored. The only time groups put an emphasis on "white" on anything they promote is for impure reasons. A lot of cultural events featuring many white people in America are broken up into their subcultures such as Italian, German, Irish, etc. This is also true for certain Asian and Latino communities who continue to practice traditions and holidays despite being in the US. Their events would be named according to their respective countries of origin.

On the other hand, you have black people in America who use the broad term "black" since it's what we have in common since we have no strong connection with our African heritage. Many of us don't know if we originated from Ethiopia, Nigeria, or Egypt. We use black as a blanket term and have done so for a long time since we do not represent those "traditional Americans".
