I don't think its right to discriminate, but I also don't think its right to argue about something without giving the counterpoint a spin.

My mom is an ER nurse at Foothills hospital, compared to people of Asian descent (india, china, etc.) very rarely are white people stabbed or are involved in gang violence. And if a club has even a couple cases of Asian gang violence over a few months, white people will abandon that club overnight.

Successful business comes from playing the percentages to your advantage, and if accepting Asians into your club means that the percentages work against you, good business sense tells you not to accept them. Its not necessarily hate motivated, but it ends up being a race issue. Its a catch 22 for club owners, and if no ones looking close, your going to do what you can to preserve your business and investment.
