I would also like to add, that the type of establishment these places are isn't the issue. I know the entire concept behind these nightclubs is somewhat shallow and exclusive anyways.

The issue is, that for those who do like to go, many are being made to feel like second class citizens, in their own city. We're not talking about illegal immigrants or something. We're talking about everyday born and raised Calgarians, who contribute to this city through volunteer work, people who are award winning students, people who have good social skills, speak fluent english, have a diverse base of friends from different ethnicities. These are people who are integrated into this city. So why is it, if they go out to have some fun on a weekend like so many Calgarians do, they are treated like a gang member? Gangs are a real problem, but not all minorities are in gangs. In fact, the majority of minorities are not in gangs. To me, this nightclub problem is simply a symptom of a bigger problem in Calgary's overall mindset.
