Would we be so understanding of this 'club' if they were saying they didn't want anyone who wasnt white in their leadership?

sure. if that was one of their core beliefs. I would call them idiots and move on about my day. there is nothing there for me to take exception with. It is their organization they can run it how they want. If they want a one legged three breasted pygmy as their leader because they have extra special communications with God, then cool by them. If they start campaigning that one legged three breasted pygmies are the only ones eligible to be in charge of the country, then i'll take notice.

I've got no issue with the administration of the NAACP, Black Panthers, The Order or the Klan. Neither has ever pretended to be something they are not.

In the US, at least, Mitt Romney's Mormonism recalled that religion's unpleasant racial history (imagine if they still had the same doctrine!), but the similar treatment of women by Catholics hasn't tainted the candidacies of all the candidates of that faith.
