My quotes weren't out of line. They were his.
You provided ample evidence that "AOC" is an issue here in Calgary. It can't be disputed. Of course it can't be disputed that white people in Calgary are responsible for more crime than any one visible minority. How loud would the uproar be in this town if some prominent businessman refused service to white people because some white people are criminals? My guess it would be pretty loud.

There is no real easy solution. Do I think that Vickers is a racist because he has the policy which employs a form of racial profiling (a loose form mind you). I really think that it should be based on the clothing that one is wearing and who the individual shows up with. Really if a group of people wearing gang clothing show up to the door I don't care if they are white, black, asian, or native, I wouldn't want them in the club. The problem is that there isn't any training for the meatheads at the door to base what is a gang member or who is just a bunch of guys enjoying a night on the town. Obviously they are going to err on the side of caution, and really part of me hopes they do, just so I can feel that much safer in a club, even in a subconscious manner.
Unfortunanly for the majority of asians (majority not involved in crime) they are targetting because of the minority who do act well like thugs, or criminals.
I just said the quote thing because you seem to be intentionally misinterpreting what he said to confirm your point of view.
