I'm not denying that this happens on occasion, but come on. Just because they aren't letting you in doesn't mean they are racist.

The article gives the example of the girl who couldn't get in and the bouncer told her 25 and over but she had white friends inside who were under 25. Well guess what, if you go to Tantra early enough it's easy to get in no matter how old you are, you get there late and you're gonna hear the 25 and over speal.

I've been to Vicker's bars plenty of times with friends who are black, brown, and asian (presumably the groups they are trying to keep out) and guess what, the only times we've had a problem getting in is when it's packed. When it isn't, they don't care how old you are or what kind of shoes you have on, they can't affored to pick who goes in, but when it gets busy, they are gonna be full regardless, so that's when they bust out the over 25, or good shoes rules.
