When I worked in IT for the US congress (2012) the internal system that tracks constituents does the same thing. All offices uses it. "Black folks" was the most glaring odd label that I saw.
Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership does something similar[1]. The worst part about these systems is that the lack of accountability and appeals process. If you end up on the "bad" list, you're banned and probably SOL.
Like with guns (opening paragraph about removing concealed carry guns). The sign “no guns on premise” doesn’t have power of law, unless it’s like school, but if owner asks you to leave, you should comply, otherwise you will be trespassing

Your house is your house, but once you establish a venue open to the general public, you have to follow rules.

Civil liberties come into play. I can discriminate based on race or sex in who I allow into my house, but not my storefront.
Some place have straight up public accolades requirements - if it’s open to the public, it has to be open to the public.
Have you read the referred article? Did you look up the club rules? How are NYC rules related to it, is it in NYC?
What is your point? Because it is clear that you comment with your prejudice and preconditions, not with article.
The first paragraph does not mention guns. Madison Square Gardens is not a club. And, yes, it is in NYC.
