The point of all of those posts was that it's not always racism that keeps people out of clubs.
So yeah, I'm pretty sure we all agree with you.

Haha, probably should have just made a comment instead of quoting 50 posts.
It seemed like the tone of the posts was that when people think the clubs are being racist, it's not actually racism, they just turn people away for lots of reasons and then minorities think it's racism. Which from my knowledge isn't the case. Minorities, and specifically minorities in groups are most definitely still turned away because of their skin colour, which is racism.
I'll pick out specific comments I was referring to in my response to make it a little more clear.

Not every single slight is a racist thing

And by that same logic, just because they don't let a black guy in, doesn't mean they're being racist

I'm white and I've been going to clubs and bars for years I have never been turned away, not once, ever. Obviously there is something about you that makes bouncers not want to let you in. Racism has nothing to do with it.

What I think people are saying is something I see as well- as a white person many times when I have to tell somebody who isn't white something negative; the race card gets pulled

In fact, now that I've gone over them again, there was something in every single one of those posts I quoted (I only quoted JonDukes as reference as I agreed with him) that was relevant to the point I was making.
