Oh no, they're not evil, they're just pointless, particularly with the glut of other socially-minded student groups that already exist on American campuses everywhere.

I understand there is a problem with over-theorizing and not stepping beyond that into action, but that's not what these student groups are doing.

If UConn's Students Against Hate group ever does anything beyond their little anti-Coulter love-in, I'll take back my comments about them being silly and pointless and masturbatory. Until then, though, open mic nights at the student union don't count as "action" in my book. The only people who go to these things are the students who are already in the club or who already know that "hate" = bad. They're not opening up anybody's eyes, and they're not effecting any change.
Is it better than nothing? Ehhh, I don't know. It's not worse than nothing, I'll at least give you that.
