Eh?
Unless you want to discuss your shared religion, heritage, culture and matters that affect/are relevant to Jewish people.

Do the Black Police Association, Jewish groups, Muslim groups, Afro-Caribbean groups etc (its a very long list) exclude anybody?
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.

Could we have some more info on this mythical "non-white" member, as it would appear if he/she exists, he/she is breaking the membership rules of our BNP chummies.
