Being an Asian myself, it is quite despicable that in today's day and age, and especially in a city with different races and cultures, that this could happen.
But I really hope that people don't label the city as racist, when I know that for the most part, people here are very open and tolerant of the many different cultures from around the world that reside here.
The properly placed blame, should fall on the @$$hole who owns or manages the clubs who is telling the bouncers or whoever to only allow whites into their clubs.
Where is the action? Where is the solution? I see a lot of complaining going on, and not a whole lot of plans on how to deal with it. Why don't some people get together and create a petition to the owner(s) of said clubs? Why not have a petition signing right outside the club in question? Do something to shame the owner into acknowledging the problem. Get T.V. and newspapers involved because we know they love a story like this. Either that, or take your business elsewhere, to a place more deserving of your money.
That being said, I see no reason why a club owner should not be allowed to pick and choose who he wants in his clubs. It's private property. But saying that, I don't see a reason why people should not be allowed to make a public spectacle of his or her bigotry and reveal to the public just what is happening and maybe shame them into changing their policies.
