is this racist?

the guy said (s)he wanted to make an asian club 

I mean... If they don't want any other race in their club then yes but I don't see a lot of evidence that says that they want an asian-only club

i find myself administering a virtual chess club for a university in SE Asia"

That doesn't confirm anything, it only means that he has a virtual club that is only conformed by the members of a university in SE asia, if anything the racist is the second guy.

do u know english ofr how clubs work?

how many people do u think that go to an asian university arent asian?

I don't know how many dude, I know english, and I definitely know how clubs work but what do you see as racist in that forum?

nothing but u said that the second guy was ravist and i just want to know how

Because he said that managing a club wasn't hard and that he should "just invite asian people" with no further explanation, and I think that if anything is racist in that forum it was that reply since theres no other reason for only inviting asian people except that the club has asian people already from a university

I mean... Its kinda like "ima make a left handed club" or "only people with blue eyes allowed" if that's any help... Probably not...

No it's really not that good of a helping hand , but I understand what you mean, a "this type of people club", but what OP says here that it's an exception because this is "an asian club" and as it is an "asian club" he thinks it's an "asian only club" so it's racist

Well i suppose it depends on the individual looking at it...

Like, someone with a calm personality would probably not care, especially if they didn't want to be in it?

this kind of thing might just bother people who flip out over a lot of stuff maybe...

Yeah you're right but I'm kind of discussing with the owner that because we don't have enough information we can't call it racism, not even reverse racism which kind of makes it sound less bad, but even though, you are right.

Maybe its just a 'residents of Asia' club
