The LPGA (golf) recently decided to require that all members must speak English. A few Asians that have won tournaments didn't speak English, so it looks like the LPGA was specifically targeting Asians.

However, the LPGA has rescinded this rule.

I think this was discussed over at "The Linguist" recently.

No way!

Grait! On behalf of non-speakers of English, I am grateful.
