Racism or just being selective?

Six black college students are crying racism after being turned away from a popular Chicago night club.

The students from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri were on a senior class trip of 200 to Chicago and were walking along the city’s Gold Coast when they tried to get into Mother’s, a popular night club. The black students were denied entry because allegedly they violated the club's ban on baggy jeans. The students didn’t buy it so one of them, Regis Nurayi, switched pants with a white classmate and tried the entry process again. The white student was still allowed in while the black student was left outside.

The students held a protest in front of Mother's last Sunday, and there's a meeting about this issue in St. Louis on Monday.

The students have also filed complaints with the Chicago Human Rights Commission, the Illinois Attorney General, the U.S. Department of Justice.

The management of Mother's said they are conducting an internal investigation but insists that racism was not the cause. Their concern was reportedly safety issues.

What do you think? Is this a case of blatant racism or just a club practicing its right to be selective?
