I didn't say I thought it was okay for them to kick the kids out like that. I think it was tasteless, classless and rude. If their view was that they didn't want the kids there, they should have informed the camp counselors at the end of the day, saying that they hoped the kids enjoyed the experience but they wished to cancel any future sessions.
I think that IF a private club wants to discriminate on the basis of race, it should be legal, because it's a private club. Private clubs also (should) have the right to discriminate based on gender, income, profession, religion, family name, and a lot of things that public places (ie restaurants and grocery stores) don't.
"Above and beyond any question of whether the pool owners were within their rights, I think who thinks it was okay for them to do that is a stupid fucking hateful piece of shit."
I wasn't saying I personally thought it was okay, or that they were good people, I was just saying I thought they were acting within their rights.
If you're done, I'm done, because I don't want to stress anyone out, but I did want to clarify that bit.
