Racist.
Again, racist isn't necessarily a four letter word.
They may not be hurting anyone. I don't think they are by any means.
If the sole purpose of something is because of race....
black & white (or yellow or whatever), it's racist.
Ebony Magazine....BET......KKK......NAACP.....
all based on race.
Racist.
Let's say I'm starting a WASP Christian Church here in Ocean Springs
White Anglo Saxon Protestants only
.....what do you think folks would say?
I'm not saying that I personally have a problem with any of it.

Calling it that would get you into trouble, but go to most churches and you will see a lot of segregation - by choice, not by force. There are lots of churches that are black only, though I'm sure as christian people they'd welcome white people. The same with a lot of nearly all-white churches. The Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church in Biloxi is for Vietnamese people. In all these cases it's probably a cultural thing that causes segregation.
