The reason why there would be uproar over anything white only is because historically there were many things for whites only. These did not exist to celebrate white culture or anything positive like that they existed to exclude blacks and effectively were present as part of a mechanism to keep black people downtrodden - for want of a better word. White only as a concept implies white supremacy. That may not be the case 100% of the time but that what the expression implies.

But its
equal rights black people and women want, so why do these rules exist in the first place? If they want equal rights (which they have) then IMO they shouldn't be doing what they are fighting against because its huge double standards. The history is somewhat irrelevant, I reiterate that equal rights are wanted, not black/female becoming somewhat superior and its fine for them to be sexist and racist but not for us. Quite an old fashioned view here but if its OK for black people and women to be racist/sexist or even considered as those, then its fine for white people and men to do the same towards black people and women. Anyone who disagrees with that is a hypocrite.
