would it bother you if some one you knew was part of a community that was known to be racist or anti semetic? Say a country club or a summer community that was so exclusive that it is understood exactly who they are "keeping out"? would it bother you if you were a minority? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I don't understand, a skinhead and/or a member of the KKK are antisemetic and racist. Are you saying that it would be ok if it was a jewish org not letting in Christians or Blacks, or am I just reading this wrong? [ Reply | More

kind of depends why they were a member (family tradition etc would be less bothersome than they joined specifically for the purpose of not dealing with some group etc) Mostly I don't worry about things like that too much but I'm not a minority so maybe I am in lala land [ Reply | More

but OP asked if someone you knew was in this - not you personally are involved. Would you shun a casual aquaintence for belonging to an exclusive country club or write off a dear friend for it? [ Reply | More

there is no way I could be friends with someone who embraced it, and I am not a minority. It just is too creapy. I wouldn't want them around dc, and I couldn't respect them. [ Reply | More

OR: yes, I would not befriend someone who knnowingly did this, and I could not stay friends with someone in this situation. If family, I would have to say something about it and would likely distance myself. [ Reply | More
