Whitehouse stated the recent attention to the issue of his family's membership to an allegedly all-white beach club has prompted him to assess all of his affiliations and to consider whether any involve inequitable or exclusionary policies.

"While I am not a member of the beach club, I do own a boat and belong to a sailing club in Newport," he said. "While this club does not have exclusionary rules for membership, it does lack diversity. Failing to address the sailing club’s lack of diversity is squarely on me, and something for which I am sorry."

I don't get it. Say Harlem is 75% black. Do people claim that majority black areas "lack diversity"?

no. 100% black is most diversity possible and beautiful and should be celebrated.

You have to apologize for not having non-whites in your club or activity group, even by accident. Soon you will have to apologize for not having non-whites in your family.

dude it's an all-white club and that's the appeal. whitehouse is a limousine lib and should be called out for his hypocrisy.

what's the issue with the first part? i'm not endorsing all white clubs. the club is all white and has been since it's founding. the waiting list is huge and people only are admitted when other members die. the only people admitted are white. deleting the "whites only" bit from the rulebook doesn't make a difference if the rule is still unofficially enforced. it's a white only club.

so is the club going to forever be considered racist if they don't start importing blacks into it?

1890: hey, proles are all over our beach. let's form our own club and only let white elite in.

1980: oh no, public sentiment is turning against clubs with explicit racial rules. lets delete the rule, but still only admit white people *wink wink*

2020: (club 99.9% white with a few token minorities) oh why oh why do people think we're racist?

look, a lib senator is a member of a historically racist all white club. he got called out for it and through weasel words retained "membership". this is the dude calling all republicans RAYCIS. he should be called out for this.

frankly i don't care what clubs like this have to do to prove they're not racist. they're private clubs. they should just say "stfu we'll admit who we want, it's a private club".

It says the club has non-white members but the leadership isn't diverse enough meaning too white

newsweek described it as an all white club.

https://www.newsweek.com/democrat-sheldon-whitehouse-defends-all-white-beach-club-membership-its-long-tradition-1602693

it was founded specifically as an all white club.

i have no clue what there actual diversity figures are. i wouldn't be surprised if they admitted a couple gooks or patagonia nigs to demonstrate it's no longer "all white" by rule. but i imagine if their membership wasn't embarrassingly white they'd trot out their figures.

he's not sorry, he's sorry people noticed. people called him out on this and he said he's resign, but he just transferred the membership to his wife. dude is a fucking weasel and if he was a republican he'd be crucified.

He’s not a member because he transferred all his shares to his wife when this first came to light over a decade ago, she allegedly hold 1/3 ownership in the club.
