You simply assume that if a person of color applies to a country club and is rejected, it was because of race. You don't know that to be true. It could be because no one knows the person's family. It could be because of some professional squabble. Could be anything. But for whatever reason, you hone in on race. Not everything is about race.
That is true, but for non-white people, there is the addition of race. I do agree that often, it's because he/she doesn't have the necessary connections.
