Yeah. I've heard about it. So this wouldn't be a problem if it affected a different group of people?

Probably not because if it affected white neighborhoods, it either wouldn't be enacted, shut down after complaints, or receive enough bad press as to be shut down.

It would be the exact same problem, and equally bad.
