Reuters reports that a Harvard Study shows that having more white people around leads to binge drinking. Well, they do make an attempt to spin it as pro-diversity, but when you read things like this, you have to wonder what's wrong with these "scholars".

"If you have younger white males together to the exclusion of other groups, you're going to have fewer role models for lighter or nondrinking behavior," Henry Wechsler, the study's lead author, told Reuters. "That may explain why fraternities have had such a high level of drinking problems."

So white people don't make good role models. We are beer guzzling frat boys just out for some trouble and a piece of ass. Throw some minorities into the mix and all of a sudden everyone gets a lot more civil. That's quite an interesting theory. It also seems to be a tad bit racist and elitist.

Imagine if someone had put together a study that shows diversity leads to increased crime. What would be the reaction if we had a professor making the claim that a bunch of white people sitting around is quite boring and uneventful, but throw some minorities in there and all of a sudden you get a crime spree? My guess is that the findings would be almost as welcome as Klan night at a Knicks game.

I understand that group dynamics are bound to change based on the make up of the group. That is still a far cry from a causal relationship between binge drinking and behavior. The assertion that white people don't make good role models is just plain bigotry. What is really sad is that Harvard professors don't even realize how inherently racist they are acting. Here is an alleged institute of higher learning looking for predesposed behavioral patterns based on race, and somehow concluding that binge drinking is a white problem.
