I think it really depends on the community. Just like there are some 'bad classes' in any school - public, private or parochial - so too there are some less tolerant communities or synagogues. We are orthodox, and belong to an orthodox synagogue. Our daughter is black, and adopted. And goes to a Jewish day school. We have had nothing but an overall positive experience.
All I'm trying to say, is that I'd be hesitant to think that what some people's clearly unfortunate experience was in some orthodox circles, it is certainly not the norm.
