Jack, I'm not singling out the US on golf course membership(s), which of course you are correct, the situation was exactly the same in Canada for many decades. The Royal Montreal did not allow Jews to join for the longest time, the Beaver Club (a social/business group in Montreal) would not take in Jews, French Canadians, anyone that was not a wasp for the good part of hundred some years.

I'm talking about the general racism and vote suppression that happens in most of the southern States within the US today, and has been prevalent for well over 200 years.
