This is interesting. Maybe there is some truth to that if there if even minor harassment or "making fun of" is present. I believe whites are not welcome around groups of black majority events.
Maybe be make too much of this melting pot and diversity beliefs. I have no real relation with a black exempt my niece's husband. Other than that I have never been friend's outside of work with a black nor had one ever expressed an interest in being my friend.
I don't see any loss for me or for them. I'm married to a Cherokee and have three great-grandchildren who are Hispanic and don't look at them that way except when someone brings it up.
The problem i have is thet it is always a one way street. You can have an all-black event but not an all-white one. Iknow all the excuses but it still makes it a one way street.
I am ecaxtly one-fourth German, Irish, Scot and English.Yet I have been called a racist when I join an Irish group or a German group.
We do need to put an end to PC or we will fail to be.
Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation

20% of our population is foreign-born - that's the highest rate among G8 countries, and only Australia surpasses us outside of the G8 countries. Most of those people are visual minorities; South-Asian, Chinese, and Black immigrants account for more than 60%, then there are those from the Middle East, Carribean, South America, Central America, and Africa. We know a thing a or two about race, ethnicity, and culture. We do lack the history that the United States has with African-Americans; Canada mainly enslaved aboriginals, slavery was abolished in tandem with the UK in the mid-1790s (before the US), and we were the desired destination for those who used the underground railroad. From that point in history to the present day, individuals who are black will have different experiences in each country because of the historical differences, though there are similarities also. There is a Canadian branch of the KKK, segregation occurred (albeit differently) until the 1940s/1950s, and visual minorities face the same challenges in Canada as the United States in terms of being more likely to experience discrimination by police, more likely to be incarcerated, and more likely to live in poverty... but aboriginals in Canada are more likely to experience higher levels of discrimination (institutional and otherwise).
Basically, if you switch it out and apply this discussion to aboriginals in Canada, it would probably be equivalent or even worse than what black Americans experience. We are not a homogenous country that has little exposure to diversity but are the exact opposite of that. The number of black Canadians doesn't really matter if we are discussing racism, ethnocentricity and/or segregation. We also definitely have our flaws at the individual, societal and institutional levels.
