Racist soup

While I have no real knowledge of the groups involved, the idea of racist soup being distributed to the homeless is PC run amuck. Even if true, where is it someone else’s business to tell people providing a chartable service how to do it, who to serve and what to serve.

Charity groups with far-right links serving pork soup to homeless people face a crackdown by French officials.
Protesters have accused the groups of deliberate discrimination against Jews and Muslims, who do not eat the meat.

Strasbourg officials have banned the hand-outs and police in Paris have closed soup kitchens in an effort to avert racial tension.

Can they not form their own charity to address the needs of the underserved? It's not like they are being barred from partaking of the soup.
