Default Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion"

With all the moral high ground and outrage in the other threads already taken, I thought I'd start my own.

Quote:
More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason.

"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'" said camper Dymire Baylor.
Ignoring the use of "like" in the quote, I still shake my head everytime something this blatantly racial happens in our modern "tolerant" world. The part that really got my shaking my head was this.

Quote:
"When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool," Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. "The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."
