This is not a racist comment this is fact. I can understand if he wants to keep that element out of his bar so that people who want to go in there and have a good time aren't afraid for their lives. I realize that not every Asian or Middle Eastern guy is going to stab someone but if they are dressed like Gangsters or "hoods" then they have to be smart about who they let in and who they don't.

I assume, then, that you have no problem with (or at least, understand) racial profiling at the entrance of Calgary businesses?

They guy isn't running a business to be the United nations. He is running it to make money and provide a fun environment for people.

You're right, he's running a business. Just because you own a business doesnt' give you the right to discriminate based on race. No shoes/No service is a world apart from No Asians/No Blacks. There is a limit on how discriminatory you're allowed to be with your customers. Hang up a 'No Asians' sign in your store window and find out how fast the City (not to mention Province, Feds) gets on you. I'm betting fast.
