Nope. There are alot of groups all over the world that are for diffrent white/european groups. The things about them is they don't have the same goals as hate groups. The goal of a white power or neo-nazi group would be at very lest seperation of the races. While other groups are about teaching about were they came form for example there is a group were I live that went to a boyscout a event and taught the kids about the highland games. The kids have alot of fun and learned some cool things. So Wombat thats my answer to your question.
The culture association topic
If a group's aim is to promote a supremacy based on skin pigment and to advocate hate and division of those who look/act/think differently, then this is clearly organized racism.
A group that advocates its good qualities that does not exclude others who express interest in joining a different culture (eg a British cooking school, Highland Dancing club, Shakespearean poetry, and a Classical Music Appreciation society are examples where the members organizing it would be overwhelmingly "white") are disseminating culture in an educational way and promoting the good qualities of the European culture.
Similarly, some African American cultural groups promote cultural offerings which may include but are not limited to Rap music/ dance, African American poetry clubs, Jazz music groups, and African American fashion design. for North Americans of Japanese descent, there may be Japanese beginners' language classes, and for Mandarin/Cantonese Americans there are classes of interest to them. Some groups can overlap, and some are special interest that my not attract a wide interest, and some people express interest in learning about a different culture. This is what multiculturalism is all about--checking out what different ethnic/religious/language groups have to offer. Variety is the spice of life. You can choose to partake or not, and in Canada, no religion/language/ethnicity/culture is better than another.
North America is all about different ethnic/cultural groups. Multiculturalism is a fact of life here.
Extremism about race, colour, creed, religion, ethnicity, sexuality is dysfunctional and the cause of many of the problems in Europe today.
I am glad to live in North America where racism and other extremist hate is not tolerated because it is destructive in the long run.
