That doesn't mean that the churches would exclude them if they did, and I wouldn't agree if they did purely on the basis of race either.
Again not an indication of exclusion, but a co-ordination of a minority element of society to increase their voice

Many other minorities in the UK will co-ordinate through similar umbrella groups to speak with 'one voice' on issues that affect them.

I've been hearing about racism all my life, it was around before I was born, and will be around when I've turned to dust.

That's the human species (and nature) for you I'm afraid, we're all still just Primates at the end of the day, with the 'unconscious' traits of tribalism and territoriality still there in our biological makeup.

Given another 50 years you might reduce it to a minimal acceptable level, but with the threats of Global Warming (another monotonous drone), ever increasing population, food/water shortages, and madmen with red buttons, it could all come back very quickly with loud bangs and mushroom clouds
