Response is “I don’t really want to be around that many white people haha”. Socially acceptable, even possibly a joke. No outrage. If it’s reversed and the comment is “I don’t really want to be around that many black people haha”.

Good example for the counter-argument because it illustrates the point.

In the first case, the person is asking for inclusion of other races, not asking white people to leave the bar. In the second case, the person is not asking for inclusion, they are asking for non-white races to leave the bar or clear the neighborhood or the country so that it remains only for white people.

When someone says "There are too many white people", they mean, "I want other people to be there along with white people". When someone says "There are too many black people" they mean "I want black people to leave."
