Actually racism can be name calling. Imagine you are black and subjected to belittling comments at work (e.g., n-word, monkey, etc.) Such acts constitute racism and barred by Title VII. This situation is not much different. Students are protected from hate speech by Title IX.
As for your concerns about "Black" student associations, I agree that some persons have an irrational reaction to them. However, we live in a white-centric country and Mizzou is about 80% white. We can't let minorities have organizations specific to them? Every other student organization is for and composed of whites.
I think the inclusion comes from the LBC working with and getting involved in activities with traditionally white organizations and activities, like homecoming. I don't like that there are separate homecomings.
