British clubs ruled cannot bar members by race
A British court decision held that London gentlemen's clubs may not refuse membership solely on color, affecting clubs like Brooks's and White's. The ruling, while barring racial discrimination, leaves loopholes for other grounds such as education, social standing, and personal achievement. The case centers on Amarjit Shah, an Indian-born postal worker, and may go to the House of Lords.
