To Whom it may concern;

Apparently the Tennessee Human Rights Commission is as racist as the white Americans presented in its PSA’s, ads, and literature; the implication clearly being that only European Americans can be “racist.” Today in NW Georgia (I don’t recall the radio station) one of our Board members heard a PSA depicting a Mexican male and an African-American male, respectively, attempting to rent an apartment from a European American female. They were brusquely told the unit was no longer available. That is until an articulate-sounding Caucasian male placed the identical call and was given an affirmative answer to his query about the apartment.

We found this PSA to be distasteful, insulting, and not worthy of serious consideration by the general public. Pandering to minorities seems to be American’s unique pastime; with the overt or implied denigration of European Americans sure to follow regardless of the format. Negative stereotypes, hate caricatures, and white-baiting canards expressed against Americans of indigenous European origins does not need to be promoted by the Tennessee Commission on Human Rights. Additionally, the video file on your website depicting a white male sexually harassing a female could just as easily have been one of the successful black businessmen so often touted by ‘civil rights’ groups.

While we do not condone housing discrimination as described in the law we do not appreciate the gratuitous usage of the vindictive, spiteful acting European American in order to advance political ventures, a trend which seems to permeate not only the THRC but in what passes for popular culture as well. Like the NAACP and similar ethnic advocacy organizations, EAU speaks out for the ethnic interests of a particular demographic, informing European Americans about their right to name, label, and define themselves as is the right of the members of every other continental-origin group in America. This includes the right to counter “anti-white” defamation by whatever means are available.

Very Truly;

Board of Directors,

European Americans United
