The USA version of this is a sundown town. The reason is racism.
And because I respect you (and I’m not a monster) I altered the URL to point to the main article and not the mobile version. Ffs, people, just delete two characters.

Sundown towns are real but they're not really an american specific thing either. Tons of places on the planet will target you based on cultural shit. Closed Cities are some fascist ass shit
