Changing Complexion

Every time I'm convinced the 1950-era racism is surely dwindling to nothing, something like this pops up. These children were from a day camp and had gone on a day trip to swim at a pool they had a membership at. Then, apparently, the club realized they weren't white, and told them to leave. Seriously? There's a place in the article that says they were 'left to wonder if their race was the reason' but I don't know how there were any questions at all about why they were asked to leave by the wording.
I can't wait to see the follow up on how the pool owner explains this one.
What a disgusting display.
These are children, yours aren't any better than anyone else's, and if you're teaching them to be so hateful they got out of the pool when a person of another race gets into it, they're going to be trampled on as adults. Good job, mom and dad.
