113. It's not reasonable in the least
For one thing, it's not as though members of the CBC are refusing to work with anyone else. For another, it would do their constituents no good to pretend that no one ever makes decisions based on race. Because white people are the majority, they don't have struggles that the minority do, so there's no valid reason for them to group up and exclude minorities except to further marginalize them. Because black people are the minority who have been struggling with racism, they do have a valid reason to group together. They aren't excluding white people to marginalize them. As the minority, they can't. If they allow white people, they will soon become a minority again, in their own group. There is no reason for the majority to feel threatened and cry racism, and because racism isn't the motivating factor, it's ludicrous to do so.
