You make sense based on your interpretation of these posts. Not based on what the posts are really saying.
People are judged everyday from the face value of being white, black, handicapped, female, ugly, pretty, short, tall, skinny, fat......
If you want to get beyond the surface, you ask questions and interact with people. It happens to black applicants and black members, as well. Some of us are just more curious when it comes to nonblack applicants and members. But based on your logic, whites shouldn't get any type of questions or curiosity. They should be taken at face value as long as they have the surface qualifications, which is a privilege not even awarded to blacks in our organizations.
