The Georgia example you cite is pretty weak. Aside from the fact that you're using a decade-old magazine article as a reference for what you're calling a current event, the entire case was based around a "she-said she-said" argument, with nothing substantiating the claims. The statement of a single disgruntled member who has no evidence, nothing at all except her own version of the story, to support what she's alleging, will rarely be considered sufficient evidence to support a claim. After a thorough examination, investigators could find "not one hint" of racism. I'm sure you have some personal theory about why that's the case, and that's fine because I'm really not trying to get into a debate about NPC membership selection with you, but your research is sloppy, at best.

I don't doubt you've "heard" lots of examples. But when you use such an insufficient example to back up your claim, it really undermines your credibility.
The point was to show examples that racism IS a problem. You might think the article was weak. Others may disagree. Your opinion doesn't necessarily serve for all of mankind in that regard. Besides, as I said, these are just a few examples. I can and probably will post more.
