My mother-in-law - RIP - was Italian. She said when she was a young adult that would have been in the early 50's, Italians were not allowed in the Baton Rouge Country Club.
I know Country Clubs were and still to some extent are exclusive by nature, but this surprised me. I guess it should not have.
