Center for the Study of White American Culture – A Multiracial Organization
Not an organization for white supremacists as some people might infer, we are instead a multiracial organization that looks at whiteness and white American culture.  The Center for the Study of White American Culture (the Center) supports cultural exploration and self-discovery among white Americans. It encourages a dialogue among all racial and cultural groups concerning the role of white American culture in the larger American society. The Center operates on the premise that knowledge of one's own racial background and culture is essential when learning how to relate to people of other racial and cultural groups.
