Can you expand a little more on “not the racists”? Why not both?
I’m happy to concede that thinking some people should be excluded is an exclusionary belief. If this comes down to excluding one set of people or the other, I feel much better about excluding people based on their beliefs and actions than I do about excluding people based on their genetics or other immutable characteristics.
I agree, but I don’t think anyone involved here has advocated for excluding people from Manifest or ~anything else based on “genetics or other immutable characteristics”?
It just seems Orwellian to describe “person A doesn’t want to associate with person B because of person B’s beliefs” as “person B has exclusionary beliefs”. Person A may or may not be justified, but obviously they are the one being exclusionary.
It seems to me like the people with exclusionary beliefs here are the ones demanding that people be excluded, not the racists.

Nobody’s excluding people based on their genetics or immutable characteristics
I was assigned to female at birth and I happily go to conferences where there are people who have discussed the IQ differences between women and men.
People are deciding to not go to a place because somebody said something they disagreed about about their group.
That is people deciding not to attend an event based on beliefs, not genetics.
