Yeah, but where do you draw the line? I have lots of ethnically diverse friends, and I can't remember ever being denied entrance unless one of them was acting like a boob. Trouble makers are trouble makers, and as far as I can tell being a dick crosses over just about every race/gender/religion I have ever come across. If he was simply standing in line and was denied entrance fine. I see the problem. However, if he's standing in a crowd of people harassing others in the line, acting like a prick does it matter what race/religion he may be? If I own the bar he still ain't getting in.

In my experience, have heard all of these:

- you're wearing skate shoes
- your jeans are too baggy
- your jeans are torn
- you don't have shoes with black soles
- you're not 25
- you're not female
- you're WAAAAAY too drunk to get in here. Go to the Ship.

So while I understand that saying "you're not white you can't come in" is plain racist, wouldn't "you're not 25 or you're not female" or to some extent "you dress in skate clothes" be discriminatory? Can I sue Vickers too???

I guess the easy solution is to simply not go to sh*t bars like Cowboys or the Drink (or hire an arsonist and light 'em up, whichever comes first)
