which one?
which ones?
are these explicit policies or de facto ones you think exist looking in from the outside?
It’s called north woods or north haven or something. It was a client of a company I worked for a while back and one of the reasons I was assigned to their campus was because customers could see white people if they needed service while they were open. I was told by my supervisor that they didn’t allow nonwhites to join or women to join on their own.
The longshoreman’s Union may not technically have a ‘whites only’ policy, but it definitely engages in some discrimination to maintain an all-white workforce.
So does the country club have an explicit all-whites policy or you just heard they do this implicitly and secretly from rumor?
both major longshoreman's unions are not all-white; there is a famous history of the federal government using lawfare against these groups to force them to integrate and not exclude based on race and the spectre of that lawfare is ever present
claiming there is a difference between social outcry and "legal barriers" rings hollow when in the context of the last 80 years of federal policy of using the governments at every level to harass and attack groups engaged in behavior which isn't explicitly illegal
