I think that's an important distinction, that euphemisim, small town boards, really offends me.
Most small towns have welcome signs posted as a greeting when you enter into them, not "You may not converse with the residents" I'm afraid these boards remind me more of the sign outside the "Old American" Biker bar in the city I used to live in:
NO non-whites
and NO funny haircuts
