I expect lawyers EXCLUDE prospective jurors who will not be friendly to their client. Where do you draw the line?

If the plaintiff is a WHITE NATIONALIST RACIST and the defendent is an African American can the lawyer legally exclude all African Americans from the jury? How is that legal?

    The line has already been drawn. Each attorney has a number of strikes.  They can only eliminate a certain fixed number.

    They can eliminate for ANY REASON? Thank you for your reply Sharon.
