Given that most cities have areas with varying proportions of people of different ethnicities, yeah it can be discriminatory. They just target certain neighborhoods and know that those are far more likely to be people of a certain background. Not saying they did or didn’t do it here, but that’s how they can do things like that.

I feel this hard. I swing dance and my local scene sucks. There’s no college club for the scene to be based around so everyone who organizes and teaches is out to make money from it. I ran my college club (which was open to community members) and I’ve had them ask me how to increase involvement and they really don’t like it when I tell them it’s far too expensive to dance around here.
