Let's just make sure we don't get off on the wrong foot. I do believe that discrimination takes place in all sorts of businesses. You and I are on the same side here.
What I am saying is if you want something done, speak more about your own experiences and not the news crew. Odds are the guys were in the line for more time than what the camera was on them for. Did they do or say something to make the bouncers not let them in? We have no way of knowing, because we saw an editted version of the story.

Okay, well I am telling you from my own experiences, that the stuff I saw on the edited news story, has happened to me and my friends on numerous occassions. And the only thing I did to make the bouncers not let me in was be a minority. Therefore I see the news story as extremely accurate.
So if you're trying to say that the news story was an exaggeration of some sort, I disagree. From my experiences, it was pretty much spot on.
