Never understood why where a particular type of group (eg a deaf club) is largely based on location eg Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle etc, certain races/faiths have their own club that is not based on location. So they may live in Leeds but not belong to the Leeds branch of that type of club, but to the race/faith based one. That is racism.

They have had a token non-white member (an Asian) in one of their videos. I admit to be unsure of their specific membership policy but I do know what their constitution says and it states that membership is for the indigenous population. It also states that policy should apply for membership of Great Britain PLC.
Technically, As my family tree is not long established in this country I would also be kicked out. Although I believe since I am White they might overlook it.
As for the other groups you mention, that is a tricky area I am not totally comfortable with. However Religious groups make sense, why should an Atheist attend a Christian club? (They may well still be welcome though!). That is a club formed out of a common interest.
Others are formed in relation to cultures, An Asian society at a University is not racist, it's a way for Asians (and others) to keep in touch with their culture. We, as White Brits, do not need such a society since we live in our culture.
The only one that may be considered racist is where their membership is limited by race and it's goal is to either promote their own race
at the expense of others or promote race inequality by any other means. I would consider those groups racist.
