The same way if it said "black" "brown" "Male" "female" "straight" "gay" only.
If you're really upset about hairproducts, put up an outside shower, so that people could use this before entering the pool.
Was this "white only" sign a violation of civil rights?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A Cincinnati
landlord who claimed a black girl's hair products clouded an apartment
complex's swimming pool discriminated against the child by posting a
poolside "White Only" sign, an Ohio civil rights panel said Thursday in
upholding a previous finding.
The Ohio Civil Rights Commission voted 4-0 against reconsidering its finding from last fall. There was no discussion.
The group found on Sept. 29 that Jamie Hein,
who is white, violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act by posting the sign at
a pool at the duplex where the teenage girl was visiting her parents.
The
parents filed a discrimination charge with the commission and moved out
of the duplex in the racially diverse city to "avoid subjecting their
family to further humiliating treatment," the commission said in a
release announcing its finding.
An
investigation revealed that Hein in May posted on the gated entrance to
the pool an iron sign that stated "Public Swimming Pool, White Only,"
the commission statement said.
Several
witnesses confirmed that the sign was posted, and the landlord
indicated that she posted it because the girl used chemicals in her hair
that would make the pool "cloudy," according to the commission.

here's information: refer to these as life cycle costs. A swimming pool, like most things, will not last forever. If you maintain your pool, keep the water chemistry balanced and do some routine preventative upkeep, however, your swimming pool will provide years of trouble-free fun, enjoyment and great memories.
OK, so what does it cost to maintain a pool? First, understand that nearly every pool is different. Some pools are tunable. By that I mean it can be adjusted to find that pool's sweet spot -- that perfect combination of good flow, little restriction, quiet pump performance and low energy consumption. If the builder built it without the necessary adjustment capabilities, you have fewer choices.
* Energy usage with a standard 1-1/2 or 2 HP motor can be as much as $60-$80 or more per month. Many older pool pumps are oversized for the pool and draw a lot of energy. This is prevalent in old pools where the pumps were replaced with the mentality that bigger must be better. Not true in this case.

* Chemical usage could be as little as $20-$30 dollars per month to well over $50.
* Let's address water usage. The average pool is 12,000 gallons. Every pool in the desert without a pool cover has an evaporation rate of 5' per year. For most play pools that is the entire volume of water lost. Out of the 300,000 or so pools currently constructed, it has estimated that nearly 20% of them may be leaking, so that is 60,000 pools. If you have a filter that requires back washing you are sending thousands of gallons of water down the proverbial (and literal) drain. If every pool had a cartridge style filter, we could save 1.5 billion gallons of water alone in Arizona. That is 4,603 acre-feet of valuable water. Your water bill will depend, therefore, on how efficiently you use water in your pool, coupled with the water rates charged in your community.
I love the look on that bear's face. He's like "GTFO of my pool!"
If the landlord was all that concerned then the correct thing to have done would to have put up a sign stating that everyone must have removed all and any kind of hair treatment from their hair before entering....
This is...
He's an idiot though... all he had to do was ask her to wash her hair before getting in the pool.... It's not like she's not going to wash it afterwards anyway.... c'mon... little common sense here.
You're comparing magazines that cater to a black audience to a case of racial discrimination?
you say you're not a bigot? if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck . . . .
