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

I don't think you can misinterpret "Asian guys doing the stabbings all over the city". If someone says "he is just not as racist as everyone thinks" it sounds to me like "he's only a little racist, not as bad as you think".
That's neither here nor there though as they weren't your comments.
As for the rest of it -- I wouldn't feel any safer in a club because some scumbag bar owner decided to test his own simpleminded social theory and only let white people into the bar. I've seen enough drunken white guys beat the holy hell out of each other with bottles, bar stools, pool cues, glasses, fists, feet and flailing limbs to know that barring non-whites from a bar based on non-whiteness because they might cause trouble is useless.
It's also illegal and I thought you were all for that law and order stuff?
