    There are lots of organizations that are restricted to certain people. This is another one. Now if this was white people, there'd be a big outcry of racism, but still, private organizations should be able to limit their membership to whom they choose.

    Agreed. But that has to work ALL ways. Men only. Women only. Icelanders only. Whatever.

    Human rights advocate Robin Durling said the association is not breaking the law.

    "There are all sorts of exemptions to say that it's okay to sometimes exclude certain kinds of people to make a better place for a different kind of people," Durling said.


    Is that a fact? Can you imagine if Surrey Minor Hockey decided to not allow Non/Whites to sign up?

    If the Surrey Navy Cadet Corps only took white males?

    If the Vancouver Canucks only took Euro's.....uh oh...wait a minute.

    "We respect the rights of all other ethnic community based soccer leagues in B.C., as well as dozens of others across the country, in many different sports, to have their leagues run as they choose," added Sumra.

    It does. You can have any restrictions you want for a private non-profit organization. Lots of women only leagues, Icelandic whatsit societies etc etc.

    Well, I'm in the German Canadian Association of Nova Scotia, and I am certain that it would not fly if we refused entry to those interested in the group that were not of German stock...

    I welcome any and all addition of Dutch ladybits into the group... I've seen your Olympic women's teams AND first-hand in Amersfoort/Utrecht/Amsterdam/Groningen... Shall I send you and your cousins a membership-form?
